The Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (IEI) of the University of Chile, in association with the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), kindly invites you to submit an Abstract for our first EU-VALUES International Conference.
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore strategies to promote democracy and the rule of law within various institutional frameworks and policy environments from a comparative perspective.
Conference Themes
Faced with recent challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and growing geopolitical tensions, many democratic countries are adapting its foreign policy and strategic outlook to the new environment. This adaptation includes revising existing strategies and developing new, agile approaches to address sudden threats and uphold democratic principles. Against this backdrop, the conference aims to critically discuss new approaches to safeguard and advance democratic core values as human dignity, freedom, equality, rule of law, or human rights, both domestically and internationally.
Paper proposals can fit within, but are not limited to, the following topic areas:
• Democratic Values Challenged by New Security Policy Ideas
• Promoting Democracy and Gender Politics from a Global Perspective
• Democracy, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data
• Promotion of the Rule of Law and Democracy
• EU/Europe-Latin America Relations and Democratic Principles
• The Multilateral Investment Court System and Promotion of the Rule of Law
• The Role of the Rule of Law in Trade and Investment Agreements
• Policy Communities, Social Organizations, and Democratic Values
• Democratic Principles and Linguistic Conflicts
• Ethnic Majorities and Minorities in Democratic Politics
