The Interchange Between Democratic Institutions and the Globalisation of the Economy (DemoTrans)

Provider European Commission
Programme HORIZON.2.2.1 - Democracy and Governance
Project code 101059288
Participants Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (coordinator), Universitetet i Bergen, Universiteit Utrecht, Faculty of Social Sciences Charles University, Tax Justice Network
Principal investigator prof. Kristof De Witte

Following World War II, globalisation and market liberalisation triggered a period of unprecedented growth. Recently, these trends appear to reverse, whereby globalisation and corporations started to pose challenges for liberal democracy, social cohesion and environmental sustainability. The EU-funded DemoTrans project will provide theoretically and empirically robust recommendations on how to reinvigorate democratic governance by improving the accountability, transparency, effectiveness and trustworthiness of rule-of-law based institutions and policies. Moreover, it will provide robust recommendations on strengthening democratic governance through the expansion of active and inclusive citizenship empowered by the safeguarding of fundamental rights, thus showing pathways to a secure, open and democratic European society.
