Europe, Democracy, and Notions of Freedom: Past and Present Challenges

This event explores the interplay between processes of European integration, conceptions of freedom, and democratic practices from 1848 to the present. It delves into a complex and delicate relationship, while also considering its symbiotic nature. It raises questions about the political consequences of such a relationship for the current state of affairs within the European Union. In particular, what importance does a united Europe hold for the principles of freedom and democracy and for liberal and democratic institutions in the Old Continent – and vice versa?
