  1. Externalised EU Borders, Repressive Partnerships and Migrants’ Rights with Mansah Amoah

    Externalised EU Borders, Repressive Partnerships and Migrants’ Rights with Mansah Amoah

    In this episode of European Dialogue, we sit down with Mansah Amoah (University of Pretoria) to unpack one of the most urgent and controversial areas of European foreign policy: the externalisation of EU borders. We explore how the European Union partners with African states to manage migration, often through funding, training, and security cooperation, and what these “repressive partnerships” mean in practice for governance, accountability, and above all, for migrants themselves. Drawing on her doctoral research in law and human rights, Mansah sheds light on: - How EU–Africa migration partnerships are structured and what shapes the balance of power. - The human rights implications of externalised border controls, including detention practices and securitisation. - And what “pathways to mitigation and accountability” could look like in rethinking EU migration governance.

    EU Corporate Due Diligence: Finding the Smart Mix with Prof. Radu Mares

    In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, we sit down with Professor Radu Mares from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights at Lund University to explore the global implications of the European Green Deal, one of the EU’s most ambitious and evolving policy experiments to date. Recorded during the EU-VALUES international conference in July 2025, this conversation offers exclusive insights from Radu’s Conference paper “Is the EU Green Deal a Regulatory Revolution?”, where he argues the EU may be spearheading a profound shift in global supply chain governance. Radu explains: 🔹 What the European Green Deal really is, and why it might be revolutionary 🔹 The concept of a “layered smart mix” in EU policy design 🔹 How EU rules affect global supply chains, and why countries outside the bloc are pushing back 🔹 The risks of “leakage” and unintended consequences for the Global South 🔹 How the EU might balance climate ambition with global fairness and cooperation This is a must-listen for anyone interested in climate policy, global trade or the EU’s expanding role as a regulatory power. 🌐 Learn More About Our Work: EU-VALUES Website: www.eu-values.eu/ 📲 Follow and subscribe to us for more expert insights on democracy, governance, and European civil society: Instagram 👉 www.instagram.com/euvalues.eu/ LinkedIn 👉 www.linkedin.com/company/eu-values-network/ Spotify 🎧 👉 open.spotify.com/show/4bmecvWt1As2M4cRBsyW6i SoundCloud 👉 @euvaluesnetwork #EuropeanGreenDeal #ClimatePolicy #SupplyChains #GlobalGovernance #EUVALUES #GreenTransition #RaduMares #SmartMix #TradeJustice #HumanRights #Europe #RegulatoryPower #Sustainability #ClimateJustice

    From Backsliding to Building: Philanthropy’s Role in Europe’s Democratic Crisis – with PHILEA

    In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, we sit down with Sevda Kilicalp and Nils Luyten from PHILEA – the Philanthropy Europe Association to discuss how democracy in Europe is changing, and what role funders can play in defending and developing it. We explore their latest work with the PHILEA Democracy Network by diving into the newly released '2025 Democracy Briefer for Funders', a timely and practical guide that speaks directly to the challenges and possibilities for philanthropy in today’s polarised political landscape. Drawing on examples from across the EU, Nils and Sevda talk to: 🔹 How democratic backsliding often takes legal and incremental forms, not always dramatic ones 🔹 Why philanthropy is essential to democratic resilience and independent civic space 🔹 The deeper emotional and socio-economic drivers of polarisation and public disengagement 🔹 How younger generations are losing trust in democratic systems and what can be done about it 🔹 The challenge of building inclusive, shared narratives in a fragmented media environment For more on PHILEA and its Democracy Network, visit: www.philea.eu Read the full 2025 Democracy Briefer here: philea.eu/publications/2025-democracy-briefer-for-funders You can also find out more about the reference to Hannah Arendt’s 1951 foundational insights into totalitarianism (e.g.: the erosion of truth, the exploitation of emotion and the breakdown of common sense) in many articles online, or a nice podcast if that is your favourite medium is:  https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-xtm92-415961   🌐 Learn More About Our Work: EU-VALUES Website: www.eu-values.eu/ 📲 Follow and subscribe to us for more expert insights on democracy, governance, and European civil society: Instagram 👉 www.instagram.com/euvalues.eu/ LinkedIn 👉 www.linkedin.com/company/eu-values-network/ Spotify 🎧 👉 open.spotify.com/show/4bmecvWt1As2M4cRBsyW6i SoundCloud 👉 @euvaluesnetwork #Democracy #Philanthropy #Europe #CivilSociety #RuleOfLaw #HannahArendt #Polarisation #Youth #Inclusion #Philea #EUVALUES #DemocraticGovernance #SocialTrust #DemocracyNetwork

  4. Who Leads in Cyberspace? Democratic Values and the EU–US Digital Future with Prof. Elaine Fahey

    Who Leads in Cyberspace? Democratic Values and the EU–US Digital Future with Prof. Elaine Fahey

    In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, sits down with Professor Elaine Fahey (City Law School, City St. Georges, University of London) to explore the fast-evolving landscape of EU–US cybersecurity law and policy. From shifting priorities in digital security to transatlantic tensions and cooperation, we discuss how global governance is being reshaped by technological threats, and by the political responses they provoke. We dive into Elaine's recent research, including: 🔹 The Evolution of EU–US Cybersecurity Law and Policy (2024): https://doi.org/10.1080/07036337.2024.2411240 🔹 Democratic Leadership through Transatlantic Cooperation for Trade and Technology Reforms through the EU-US TTC Model? In: Petersmann, U. & Steinbach, A. (Eds.), Constitutionalism and Transnational Governance Failures. World Trade Institute Advanced Studies, 16. (pp. 279-307): https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004693722_012 We also discuss how cybercrime has evolved into broader strategic cybersecurity concerns, the contrasting EU and US approaches to digital sovereignty and internal security, and how the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) is playing a role — albeit controversial — in this landscape. We also ask: - Are civil society and parliaments being left out of critical cyber governance decisions? - Can the EU and US build a truly democratic framework for digital cooperation? - What lies ahead for transatlantic leadership in a world shaped by AI, trade wars, and cyber risks?

    In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, we welcome Prof. Meltem Müftüler-Baç, expert on Turkey-EU relations and external differentiated integration.
