Delighted to pass along this call for papers.

 
Promoting Democracy and the Rule of Law – Global Perspectives

Santiago de Chile, 5-6 December 2024

The Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (International Studies Institute) at the University of Chile, in association with the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), kindly Invites you to submit an Abstract for an International Conference. This interdisciplinary conference is part of the Jean Monnet Network EU-VALUES (EU Research and Education Network on Foreign Policy Issues: Values and Democracy) and seeks to explore strategies to promote democracy and the rule of law within various institutional frameworks and policy environments from a comparative perspective.

 

.Conference Themes

Faced with recent challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and growing geopolitical tensions, many democratic countries are adapting its foreign policy and strategic outlook to the new environment. This adaptation includes revising existing strategies and developing new, agile approaches to address sudden threats and uphold democratic principles. Against this backdrop, the conference aims to critically discuss new approaches to safeguard and advance democratic core values as human dignity, freedom, equality, rule of law, or human rights, both domestically and internationally.

The conference aims to explore how values related to democracy and the rule of law are promoted worldwide by national states and international organizations and to discuss the impact of related strategies and instruments. More specifically, the conference will examine how strategies to promote democracy and the rule of law are implemented globally and how principles advanced by the EU are evaluated in different parts of the world. A special section will be dedicated to EU – Latin America cooperation in the promotion of democracy and the rule of law.

Democratic Values Challenged by New Security Policy Ideas
