Professori Päivi Leino-Sandbergin johtamassa monitieteisessä (In)Security and Democracy -hankkeessa tutkitaan, miten demokraattiset yhteiskunnat voivat säilyä avoimina ja moniarvoisina tilanteessa, jossa pelon politiikka hallitsee julkista keskustelua yhä vahvemmin.
(In)Security and Democracy, a multidisciplinary research project led by Professor Päivi Leino-Sandberg, sets out to explore a fundamental question: How can democratic societies remain open, deliberative, and pluralist when the politics of fear increasingly dominate public discourse?
As a researcher, following the Ursula von der Leyen presidency demonstrates its attitude towards participatory democracy has been a journey from disbelief to frustration, and then to worry and anger, warns professor Päivi Leino-Sandberg.

Next week, EU judges will rule on the Pfizergate scandal: did the secret texts between von der Leyen and Pfizer’s CEO vanish, or were they never meant to be seen? We spoke to legal scholar Päivi Leino-Sandberg: for her, this case is about more than texts. It’s a battle for transparency.

Quote from our published article by author Päivi Leino-Sandberg: “The leaked drafts on the EU’s next MFF verify that the Commission’s plan mimics the features of the NGEU. This model is ill-suited to addressing geopolitical challenges facing the EU today.”
Leaked Commission documents on the EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework are out!
PÄIVI LEINO-SANDBERG explains how they mirror the NGEU—and why that might be a problem:

The financial accountability of the RRF suffers from basic design failures, says Päivi -S.

To catch up with the US and China, the EU needs massive investment.
Problem is, the funding scheme proposed by the #DraghiReport hardly finds a basis in the treaties.
