In-person event
Populist parties are here to stay in Europe. The question is how other parties and policymakers deal with them. This question is all the more important since the strategies they adopt towards populist parties may well affect whether they succeed in fostering democratic pluralism or whether they turn against it. In this event, Ben Crum – co-editor of the new book ‘Populist Parties and Democratic Resilience’ – presents their findings on the different strategies (e.g. accommodation versus a ‘cordon sanitaire’) and institutional measures across the European Union. Together with European Commission Vice-President Věra Jourová and Ramona Strugariu, he discusses how these insights can be used to further develop the EU Rule of Law framework and the EU ‘Defence of Democracy’ package.
