The programme re:constitution – Exchange and Analysis on Democracy and the Rule of Law in Europe, co-managed by Democracy Reporting International (DRI) and Forum Transregionale Studien (FTS) aims at addressing the challenges facing democracy and the rule of law in Europe by conducting interdisciplinary research, current analysis and developing potential solutions. DRI’ contribution to the programme is it to foster an informed and fact-based public debate by providing expert research, analysis and commentary to journalists and policy-makers. Furthermore, we convene and engage a broad coalition of like-minded civil society organisations to amplify key messages that call for the protection of rule of law and democracy in the EU and beyond.
