    Digital Transformation
    (2024) Shulimov, Stanislav; Kriuchok, Mariia
    In the context of politics and for the purpose of SHAPEDEM-EU, digital transformation (DT) refers to adaptation and implementation of digital technologies into political and social processes. Recognizing its multidimensional and complex nature, DT first and foremost points to enhancing democratic procedures by incorporating new digital possibilities for citizens participation in political acts. Thereby, more sustainable practices for maintaining operational, transparent, and accountable democratic institutions can be implemented. This publication is part of WP1 of the SHAPEDEM-EU project, led by Roskilde University (RUC).

    Digital Transformation as a Double-Edge Sword for Democracy : Working paper on digital transformation
    (2024) Osypchuk, Anna; Suslov, Anton; Shaporda, Yaroslava
    The paper discusses the juxtaposition of digital transformation (DT) and democracy support and democracy contestation. While the DT is defined as an adaptation and implementation of digital technologies into political and social processes, digital tools are seen as such that could be used both by democratic and non-democratic systems and are perceived as ‘neutral’. The paper aims to reveal how digital transformation in governance, public services, civic engagement, and more broadly in everyday social practices impacts democracies and democracy support. The digital transformation instruments are reviewed in the context of democracy support and democracy contestation and the conceptual framework for understanding of the role of DT as a cross-cutting issue in the SHAPEDEM-EU work packages is provided. The paper sets the ontological framework for the nexus of DT and democracy support or contestation. It discusses digital democracy and digital authoritarianism first on a conceptual level and then through the analysis of digital instruments and solutions. While they are sorted into two toolboxes – democratic and autocratic – almost all of them could be applied equally to enhance democratic support or to contest democracy and both to facilitate and to circumvent democratic practices and rights. Also, the interconnection of two cross-cutting issues of the SHAPEDEM-EU project: gender equality and DT, is outlined. Finally, the paper reviews EU policies concerning DT and the question of media literacy and its relation to democracy support and democracy learning.

    Neighbourhoods
    (2024) Suslov, Anton
    The EU’s Eastern and Southern Neighbourhoods are two areas of countries sharing either an overland or marine border with the EU. The concept originates from the idea of good neighbourliness which arose after WW2 (Hilz 2020). According to the Treaty of the EU (Art. 8), the "Union shall develop a special relationship with neighbouring countries, aiming to establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness, founded on the values of the Union and characterised by close and peaceful relations based on cooperation." This publication is part of WP1 of the SHAPEDEM-EU project, led by Roskilde University (RUC).

    The Origins and Evolutions of the EU's Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policies in the Area of Security : REUNIR – D2.1 – working paper
    (2024) Lawrence, Tony; Macchiarini Crosson, Dylan; Noutcheva, Gergana; Dandashly, Assem; Osypchuk, Anna
    The development of the European integration project affirmed the narrative about the obsolescence of major war on the European continent, through the profound transformation of relations among European states in the second half of the 20th century. The concept of ‘Europe whole, free, and at peace’ (Bush, 1989) dominated much of the public and academic debate in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The idea of an expanding ‘security community’ promised to bridge the east-west divide and enhance the security of the whole continent. Yet, just over three decades later, the belief that war had become unthinkable as a means of resolving political differences on the continent was shaken by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting the EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell to warn in 2024 that ‘[a] high intensity, conventional war in Europe [was] no longer a fantasy’ (Foy, 2024). The degree of uncertainty facing the European security order today has never been so heightened throughout the post-Cold War history of the EU.
