January 11, 2022 S2 Episode 6: What if digital citizen participatory practices were the key to restore trust in political processes?
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.

January 11, 2022 S2 Episode 6: Et si les pratiques participatives numériques des citoyens étaient la clé pour restaurer la confiance dans les processus politiques ?
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.

December 16, 2021 Saison 2 episode 5: Et si l'UE parvenait à la souveraineté numérique ?
Réglementer le monde numérique chaotique est une tâche difficile, mais l'UE doit le faire. Grâce à leur solide capital politique et à leurs outils législatifs avancés, les institutions européennes sont aujourd'hui à l'avant-garde de la campagne mondiale visant à contenir les Big Tech, ces entreprises influentes qui en sont venues à dominer le monde numérique. Suffisant pour parvenir à une souveraineté numérique européenne ?

Écoutez notre discussion avec Daniel Innerarity, professeur à l'École de gouvernance transnationale de l'Institut universitaire européen, et Sandro Gozi, député européen du Groupe Renew et secrétaire général du Parti démocrate européen (PDE).
