Mapping and Organizing Research on Dictatorships - Open Access Repository

This Erasmus+ project aims to a two principal goals

1) The improvement and strengthening of the study of dictatorships worldwide. The project will coordinate a large group of top scholars to develop an Open Access, online encyclopedia to map past and current research on dictatorship and democracy integrating several disciplines and funnel insights from area studies and non-English research traditions into the mainstream.

2) Recommend to the EU foreign policy concerning democracy promotion strategy and tactics. This part of the project will survey and analyze the last decades of EU foreign policy promoting democracy and good governance, identify shortcomings and offer recommendations on insights by both dictatorship experts and area specialists. These recommendations will be presented to relevant EU-policy makers concerning the EU’s most relevant foreign policy vectors.
