RED-SPINEL - Episode 1: Is liberal democracy in danger? A new EU research project looks for answers!

Welcome back to Making Sense of EU! A new academic year brings new challenges and new topics and also new perspectives and questions about the European Union. This is the second season of Making Sense of EU and this time, our podcast focuses on the challenges liberal democracy is facing in the European Union.  

To cut the ribbon on this new season, I have the pleasure to have with me today Ramona Coman, who is professor of political science at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Professor Coman has been President of the Institut d’études européennes for the past 4 years and previously its director. 

She is the Principal Investigator of two European Research projects focusing on the growing dissensus over liberal democracy and the challenge this represents for the EU. Today we will discuss what's a stake, and how scientific research can contribute to understanding these issues and informing policymakers.
