Doing Development Democratically: A Conversation With Jutta Urpilainen

Tue. February 2nd, 2021
Live Online

Democracy and international development require the participation of citizens, analysts, and policymakers from all walks of life. The European Democracy Hub—a new platform for research-based discussion on European democracy support, programming, and policy—seeks to engage stakeholders and offer solutions to democratic challenges.

To mark the launch of the European Democracy Hub, join a conversation with European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jutta Urpilainen and Ken Godfrey.

The conversation will be followed by a panel debate with Julia Leininger and Staffan I. Lindberg on the need for more evidence-based democracy support as a critical prerequisite for and contributor to sustainable development. Richard Youngs will moderate.

This event is co-organized by Carnegie Europe and the European Partnership for Democracy.
