Imagine trying to fix a house where the blueprints are outdated and the residents aren't being heard. This work looks at why previous attempts to build stable governments in Eastern Europe failed by focusing too much on paperwork and not enough on people. It creates a new playbook to help these countries move from passive rule-following to active community participation.
Companies operating in Eastern Europe face high volatility due to 'hybrid regimes' and democratic regression. Existing governance models are often too rigid or purely procedural, failing to account for actual citizen engagement and local political dynamics.
A policy toolkit and a 'demos cycle' conceptual model. These tools analyze the failure of democracy aid from 2010-2022 to provide a new method for active collaboration.
If you are a consultancy dealing with unpredictable market entries in the East — this project developed a policy toolkit that identifies why democratic efforts failed between 2010-2022. This allows for more accurate forecasting of stability in countries like Moldova or Georgia.
If you are an agency dealing with inefficient aid distribution — this project developed a comprehensive dataset of EU democracy aid. This helps you avoid repeating the static, minimalist mistakes of the last decade.
If you are a firm dealing with rule of law disputes in hybrid regimes — this project developed a 'demos cycle' analysis. This provides a better understanding of how to engage with non-state environments and local perspectives.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
The project focuses on policy toolkits and knowledge diffusion rather than industrial scaling. It is designed for use by policy makers and civil society.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes the 'diffusion of knowledge and open source', suggesting a non-proprietary approach.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, with current work focusing on retrospective analysis and conceptualization.
It specifically addresses EU policy priorities by scrutinizing democracy support efforts from 2010-2022 to reset how the EU engages with its eastern neighbourhood.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 6 universities and 5 research organizations. With only 1 industry partner and 2 SMEs, the project is driven by theoretical and policy research rather than commercial application. The 10-country spread ensures high geographical representation across the EU's eastern border.
