Pressemelding -
Democracy in Europe Challenged - Oslo 7. nov.
The European Movement in Norway cordially invites you to attend our annual conference Europakonferansen 2014 - Democracy in Europe Challenged
There are several symptoms that may indicate that our democracies in Europa – be it national or supranational level – are being increasingly challenged; growing political extremism, lack of trust between politicians and voters, low voting turn-out in elections and a general political apathy. In addition, Norway’s adherence to the EEA constitutes some important question marks to the democratic legitimacy of Norway’s relations to the EU.
Burning issues: Do we need to reform our democracies in order to sustain our democratic ideals? Do citizens need to be more involved in political processes – in particular during non-election periods?
Amongst our speakers we have the pleasure to announce that amongst the speakers we find Vidar Helgesen, Raymond Johansen, David van Reybrouck and David Farrell.
For further information on all our speakers and more about the conference, please find attached our program.
