Populism And Civic Engagement – a fine-grained, dynamic, context-sensitive and forward-looking response to negative populist tendencies

Description du projet

De nouveaux outils pour faire face aux tendances populistes

Les mouvements populistes qui sont apparus dans toute l’Europe en prétendant défier les élites libérales et représenter le «peuple» transmettent des tendances qui menacent l’UE. Le projet PaCE, financé par l’UE, vise à faire face à ces tendances négatives des mouvements populistes, à effectuer des interventions spécifiques et à contribuer à la construction d’une base institutionnelle et démocratique solide pour les citoyens de l’UE. Le projet analysera les causes, l’essor, les défis spécifiques pour la démocratie libérale, les transitions liées aux changements de dirigeants et les conséquences de ces mouvements. PaCE proposera des réponses et élaborera des analyses de risques pour chaque type de mouvement et de transition en employant une simulation des comportements et des processus politiques fondée sur les agents. L’équipe du projet mettra au point de nouveaux outils reposant sur des algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique.

Objectif

Across Europe there is a rise of political movements that claim to challenge liberal elites and speak for the 'ordinary person' - movements that can be loosely categorised as 'populist'. Many of these movements have undesirable tendencies. The Populism and Civic Engagement project (PACE), with others, aims to combat the negative tendencies of populist movements, to build upon the lessons of positive examples (such as Reykjavik), and hence play a part in constructing a firmer democratic and institutional foundation for the citizens of Europe.

PACE will analyse, in detail, the type, growth and consequences of such movements in terms of their particular characteristics and context. From this, it will analyse the causes of these movements and their specific challenges to liberal democracy a possibilistic analysis to complement survey/statistical approaches. In particular, it will focus on transitions in these movements (especially changes in leadership) as well as how they relate to other kinds of movements and the liberal reaction. PACE will propose responses to these challenges, developing risk-analyses for each kind of response, each kind of movement and the type of transition. For this, it will employ the agent-based simulation of political processes and attitudes to allow for thorough risk analyses to be made. Throughout the project, it will engage with citizens and policy actors, especially groups under-represented in public affairs, face-face and via new forms of democratic participation appropriate to our digital age to help guide the project and to comment on its outputs.

It will develop new tools, based on machine-learning algorithms for identifying and tracking populist narratives and to aid online consultation. It will result in specific interventions aimed at: the public, politicians, activists and educators. It will look further into the future, developing new visions concerning how we could respond to populism and it will warn about longer-term trends.
