Discussing transnational political participation and activism in today’s Europe.
Is democracy possible just inside each nation-state? or in order to think about democratic choices in a globalising world, do we have to think at a level beyond the nation state?
The European Union is frequently and rightly criticised as having a ‘democratic deficit’, it is rarely pointed out that the state of democracy inside each nation of Europe is not ideal either. The events in this strand of the festival ask profoundly how democracy can be achieved at a transnational level in today’s Europe, and what new forms of activism and political participation could be used to give people real choice and autonomy in a world where politics is more and more global.
