It begins by summarizing the general global context during 2021 and how this conditioned the relative priority that the EU and European governments attached to democracy support.
The review disaggregates the different strands of policy that are relevant to international democracy. Complementing the several indices of democracy, the review aims to foster more informed reflection on policies designed to support democratic norms. It offers information on the efforts of the European Union (EU) and European states to foster democracy internationally, and it also dissects the limitations to such efforts. This review aims to correct this imbalance and is intended to begin a series of yearly overviews of European democracy-support policies. While there are now many widely consulted indices and rankings of democracy, there is no equivalent that measures efforts to support democratic norms internationally.
This study offers a first annual review of European democracy-support policies.
