Representative democracy is in crisis. Public confidence in the accountability of democratic representation has experienced a steady decline, both within and outside the EU. For many citizens, political actors are distant figures and legislative processes appear too complex to follow and control. However, grassroots participatory democracy initiatives have mushroomed across Europe. This phenomenon speaks to a more promising reality. We have discussed it with a Research from Croatia, Iva Paska, a sociologist and lecturer at the University of the North in Croatia and Vincent Chauvet, Mayor of Autun, in central France and member of the European Committee of the Regions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
La démocratie représentative est en crise. La confiance du public dans la responsabilité de la représentation démocratique a connu un déclin constant, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur de l'UE. Pour de nombreux citoyens, les acteurs politiques sont des personnages distants et les processus législatifs semblent trop complexes pour être suivis et contrôlés. Cependant, les initiatives de démocratie participative locales se sont récemment multipliées dans toute l'Europe. Ce phénomène témoigne d'une réalité plus prometteuse. Nous en avons discuté avec une chercheuse croate, Iva Paska, sociologue et maître de conférences à l'Université du Nord en Croatie, et Vincent Chauvet, maire d'Autun, et membre du Comité européen des régions.

Réglementer le monde numérique chaotique est une tâche difficile, mais l'UE doit le faire.

Tout au long de l'histoire, la culture, l'identité ethnique et religieuse ont été au cœur même des hostilités armées, des soulèvements et des guerres. Les différences culturelles et les identités conflictuelles semblent être les principaux facteurs de division. Mais dans de nombreuses autres circonstances, la culture s'est révélée être exactement le contraire : un moyen de combler les fossés entre des sociétés différentes.Si la promotion de la diversité culturelle peut favoriser la compréhension mutuelle, l'Union européenne peut-elle promouvoir la culture comme un outil permettant pour prévenir les conflits ?C'est ce que nous allons découvrir avec nos deux invités : Juan Antonio March, ancien ambassadeur auprès de la Fédération de Russie et de l'OMC, et le professeur Damien Helly, conseiller culturel international spécialisé dans l'action culturelle extérieure de l'UE. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Throughout history, culture, ethnic and religious identity have been at the very heart of armed hostilities, uprisings and wars. Cultural differences and conflicting identities seem to be primarily divisive. But in many other instances, culture has proven to be the exact opposite: a means to bridge gaps between different societies.If the promotion of cultural diversity can foster mutual understanding, can the European Union promote culture as a tool to actually prevent conflicts?Let’s find out with our two guest speakers: Juan Antonio March, former Ambassador to the Russian Federation and the WTO, and Prof. Damien Helly, international cultural advisor specialised in EU external cultural action.

Les campagnes de désinformation en Europe, qu'elles soient menées par des acteurs nationaux ou extérieurs, ont des effets néfastes sur le débat public, en diffusant de la méfiance envers les institutions et la science. Et alors qu'une campagne de vaccination massive est actuellement déployée, la désinformation pourrait être le talon d'Achille de l'Europe. Alors que la fin de la pandémie de Covid-19 est encore entourée d'incertitudes et que la capacité des gouvernements européens à gérer efficacement la crise sanitaire est mise à mal par les mouvements anti-vax, nous devons nous demander : et si... nous immunisions les citoyens contre les fake news ? Une conversation avec Andrzej Potocki, vice-président du parti polonais Stronnictwo Demokratyczne et Peter Kréko, psychologue social et directeur du "Political Capital Institute" de Budapest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Disinformation campaigns in Europe, whether driven by domestic or external actors, bring about harmful effects on the public debate, by disseminating distrust towards institutions and science. And with a massive vaccination campaign being currently rolled out, disinformation could be the Achilles heel of Europe. As the end of the Covid-19 pandemic is still surrounded by uncertainty and the capacity of European governments to effectively deal with the health crisis is put under strain by anti-vax movements, we must ask ourselves, what if… we immunised citizens from fake news? A conversation with Andrzej Potocki, Vice President of the Polish party Stronnictwo Demokratyczne and Peter Kréko, a social psychologist and Director of the “Political Capital Institute”, in Budapest.

Et si le monde de la finance ne se résumait pas aux grands acteurs financiers de notre époque ? Et si, en se concentrant sur les grandes institutions financières, les dirigeants européens négligeaient le "vrai" éléphant dans la pièce ? Ce podcast explore le rôle joué par les banques locales et coopératives pour stimuler les investissements des PME dans les régions d'Europe. Les PME emploient environ 100 millions de personnes et représentent plus de 50 % du PIB de l'Europe.

What if the world of finance wasn’t all about the big financial players of our times? What if, by focusing on the big financial institutions, European leaders overlooked the “real” elephant in the room?

SME’s employ around 100 million people and account for more than 50% of Europe’s GDP.

The EU Commission recently published a strategy to develop hydrogen energy. The aim is to encourage the production of "clean" hydrogen from the electricity of renewable origin and to make this clean hydrogen a viable solution to decarbonize various sectors of the economy, in line with the objectives of the Paris agreements.Are the EU Member States already producing or using hydrogen? And can it become the energy of the future for Europe?This podcast offers crossed perspectives from Belfort (France) with MEP Christophe Grudler, who, in his region, fights for the development of this energy, and from Rome (Italy)with Francesco Rutelli, President of IED, who will tell us why hydrogen is so important for Democrats and for the EU as a whole.
