[Podcast] Resilience at the Heart of Democracy: Unpacking the EU’s Rule of Law

Check out our podcast with Dr Maria Skóra and York Albrecht from RESILIO, as we explore the backbone of European democracy: the rule of law. This episode brings to light the pivotal findings of the Resilio Resilience Observatory project, aimed at bolstering rule of law reforms within the European Union.

Discover what resilience means in the context of the rule of law—extending beyond legal frameworks to embrace democratic values and fundamental rights. Our guests delve into the critical factors that fortify the rule of law, including the judiciary’s efficacy, civil society’s robustness, media independence, and the vitality of democratic political culture.

Measuring resilience comes with its own set of challenges, especially when assessing the intangible aspects of democracy. Learn about the innovative methodologies the Resilio project employs to quantify resilience and the strategies proposed to nurture a democratic political culture, ensuring electoral integrity and fostering trust in democratic processes.
