Rethinking and Reshaping the EU’s Democracy Support in its Eastern and Southern Neighbourhood (SHAPEDEM-EU)Websites: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/schoolforcross-facultystudies/igsd/research/shapedem-eu/ And https://shapedem-eu.eu/ The project sets out to rethink, reshape, and review the EU’s democracy promotion policies, while elaborating and pilot testing a novel model of a Democracy Learning Loop. The model conceives of democracy support as collective democratic learning of all stakeholders involved in the process. This approach shifts the conceptualisation of democracy support away from seeing the EU’s partners as objects of foreign policy and instead puts all actors involved centre stage in the making of a more resilient and responsive EU democracy support agenda in both neighbourhoods. Project number: 101059811 — SHAPEDEM-EU — HORIZON-CL2-2021-DEMOCRACY-01Duration: 2022-2025The project is implemented by a consortium of 12 multifaceted research entities and civil society organisations based in the EU and its Southern and Eastern Neighbourhoods. Against the background of the increasing contestation of the EU and the weakening impact of its policies on democracy support practices in the Southern and Eastern Neighbourhoods, SHAPEDEM-EU will test a Democracy Learning Loop to create new channels and tools for interaction between the EU and its neighbours and transfer these findings into policy recommendations for an improved EU policy toolkit. The project is funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe under Programmes HORIZON.2.2 - Culture, creativity and inclusive society and HORIZON.2.2.1 - Democracy and Governance.The project pursues three core objectives: 1. (Re)Conceptualising Democracy & Democracy Support as Social Practices. 2. Empirical Mapping of Democracy Support & Contestation Practices in the European Neighbourhood. 3. Fostering Action – Synthesis and Policy Recommendations. Methods and deliverables The project elaborates an analytical design to evaluate the EU’s past efforts and provide a policy toolkit for the EU to pursue legitimate and effective democracy support practices that empower citizens in its neighbouring countries. By conceptualising democracy support as a social practice, the EU’s policies are perceived as democratic practices in themselves.The team will collect, assess, and generate policies related to democracy support in six case countries: Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia. By applying a mixed-methods approach (from textual and policy analysis, online surveys, focus-groups and citizen juries), researchers will investigate the role of EU member states, key EU institutions, third country actors, and international organisations. In all project phases the impact of gender equality & digital transformations in democracy support will be examined. The University of Warwick leads Work Package 2 WP2 “Democratic Practices & Democracy Support in the Eastern Neighbourhood”.WP2 takes stock of democracy-related dynamics in the EU neighbourhood by studying local expectations & practices of democracy. Case-studies include Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia, with Belarus, Azerbaijan and Moldova added where possible. We aim to:- evaluate and contextualise perceptions & social practices of democracy - map out gaps in democracy practices & EU democracy support- explore mechanisms for a more effective and inclusive Democracy Learning LoopThe project results will be communicated and disseminated through:• A comprehensive collective Democracy Support Database, which will include research on local developments in the 6 case countries, the EU’s and selected member states’ and non-EU actors’ democracy support practices. • An interactive visualised Democracy Support Digital Dashboard. • A pilot tested Democracy Learning Loop.

重新思考和重塑欧盟在其东部和南部邻国的民主支持（SHAPEDEM-EU）网站：https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/schoolforcross-facultystudies/igsd/research/shapedem-eu/和https://shapedem-eu.eu/该项目旨在重新思考，重塑和审查欧盟的民主促进政策，同时制定和试点测试民主学习循环的新模型。该模式将民主支持视为参与该进程的所有利益攸关方的集体民主学习。这种方法改变了民主支持的概念化，不再将欧盟的合作伙伴视为外交政策的对象，而是将所有参与者置于制定更具弹性和响应性的欧盟民主支持议程的中心舞台。项目编号：101059811 - SHAPEDEM-EU -HORIZON-CL 2 -2021-DEMOCRACY-01持续时间：2022- 2025该项目由欧盟及其南部和东部邻国的12个多方面研究实体和民间社会组织组成的联盟实施。在欧盟日益增强的地位以及其政策对南部和东部邻国民主支持做法的影响减弱的背景下，SHAPEDEM-欧盟将测试民主学习循环，为欧盟与邻国之间的互动创造新的渠道和工具，并将这些结果转化为政策建议，以改进欧盟政策工具包。该项目由欧盟地平线欧洲方案在方案HORIZON.2.2 -文化、创造力和包容性社会以及HORIZON.2.2.1 -民主和治理下资助。（重新）将民主和民主支持概念化为社会实践。2.欧洲邻国民主支持与竞争实践的实证映射。3.促进行动-综合报告和政策建议。该项目阐述了一个分析设计，以评估欧盟过去的努力，并提供一个政策工具包，欧盟追求合法和有效的民主支持的做法，赋予公民在其邻国。通过将民主支持概念化为一种社会实践，欧盟的政策本身就被视为民主实践。该小组将在六个案例国家收集、评估和制定与民主支持相关的政策：黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、突尼斯、乌克兰、格鲁吉亚和亚美尼亚。通过应用混合方法（从文本和政策分析，在线调查，焦点小组和公民陪审团），研究人员将调查欧盟成员国，主要欧盟机构，第三国行为体和国际组织的作用。在项目的所有阶段，都将审查性别平等和数字化转型对民主支持的影响。沃里克大学领导工作包2 WP 2“民主实践和民主支持在东部地区”. WP 2通过研究当地的期望和民主实践，评估了欧盟地区与民主相关的动态。个案研究包括乌克兰、格鲁吉亚和亚美尼亚，并在可能的情况下增加了白俄罗斯、阿塞拜疆和摩尔多瓦。我们的目标是：-评估和情境化的看法和民主的社会实践-绘制出民主实践和欧盟民主支持的差距-探索更有效和包容性的民主学习环的机制项目结果将通过沟通和传播：·一个全面的集体民主支持数据库，其中将包括对6个案例国家，欧盟和选定的成员国和非欧盟行为者的民主支持实践的当地发展的研究。·一个互动的可视化民主支持数字仪表板。·一名飞行员测试了民主学习循环。UoW项目团队：主要研究者：Elena Korosteleva，政治学和全球可持续发展教授兼IGSD主任Elena. warwick.ac.uk Anastasiia Kudlenko博士，IGSD研究员（休产假）Asya. warwick.ac.uk Aijan Sharshenova博士，IGSD研究员Aijan. warwick.ac.uk项目协调员：[请链接到https：//shapedem-eu.eu/]Justus Liebig University Giessen（JLU）合作伙伴：沃里克大学（UoW）卡内基欧洲基金会（CEF）国际事务研究所（IAI）罗斯基勒大学（RUC）巴塞罗那国际事务中心（CIDOB）雅盖隆大学（JUK）基辅莫希拉学院国立大学（NaUKMA）贝鲁特美国大学（AUB）东部伙伴关系民间社会论坛（EAP-CSF）卡瓦基比民主过渡中心（KADEM）欧洲研究和项目办公室（EURICE）
