Full text linkThe European Union's Democratic Turn
Full text linkThis working paper argues that we are witnessing a democratic turn in EU initiatives to protect and promote EU values. If, for many years, EU institutions framed their interventions mostly in rule of law terms, since the first von der Leyen Commission took office democracy has become much more central in EU legislative and enforcement efforts. The WP analyzes the main pillars of the turn, discussing the core components of the European Democracy Action Plan and of the Defence of Democracy Package, and identifies its main drivers. Next to the need to provide better answers to constitutional backsliding processes, also other European and global challenges, such as the digital transition and the risks associated to foreign interferences in democratic processes, have pushed the EU institutions to bring forward new democratic initiatives. The WP then offers an initial analysis of the constitutional impact of the turn and reflects on some of the core challenges that EU institutions are facing in operationalising the value of democracy
