Can the EU still promote democracy in a geopolitical age? | InvigoratEU Talks #3

Democracy support has been a cornerstone of EU enlargement and neighbourhood policy. Yet, today it is increasingly intertwined with geopolitical competition. In this third episode of InvigoratEU Talks, we ask: has the EU become better at promoting democracy, or has geopolitics changed the rules of the game? InvigoratEU Talks is a podcast series born from the Horizon Europe-funded project, InvigoratEU, bringing together leading scholars and policy-makers from across Europe to do exactly what the name suggests: re-invigorate EU enlargement and neighbourhood policy in a changing world. Host: Mariam Khotenashvili, Executive Director, TEPSA Guests: Petar Markovic, Ambassador of Montenegro to the EU Giselle Bosse, Professor, Maastricht University and TEPSA Board Member Richard Youngs, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Europe and TEPSA Board Member Music: Luka Margiani Editing: Barbara Vanotti This episode is funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon Europe-funded InvigoratEU project.
