Populism and Contemporary Democracy in Europe
25 February 2021 - 26 February 2021
Barcelona, Spain
DEMOS will hold an online conference to present its scientific results and discuss the effects of populism on democracy. Taking place between February 25 and 26, the milestone event will focus on how populism has affected institutions of European democracies and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on constitutional democracy.
Over 10 DEMOS experts and invited speakers across Europe will also reflect on solutions to address these challenges. Young scholars were invited, in December, to take part in the discussion by submitting their papers.
The two-day DEMOS conference is co-organised by GEDECO (Grupo de studios sobre Democracia y Constitucionalismo) of the University of Barcelona and the Venice Commission for Democracy through Law—the advisory body of the Council of Europe in constitutional matters. The participation of the Venice Commission’s experts provides insights into the ways populism has affected constitutional law making and how European standards adapted to that impact.
