Do online “best practices” publications from international organisations really promote democracy? Or they unused resources?

After some lurking, I want to #introduce myself properly.

After training in #PoliticalTheory & #PoliticalPhilosophy, I'm now at the Institute of #PoliticalScience in #Leiden.

I've worked in the history of #PoliticalThought & #DemocraticTheory, looking at things like the secret ballot & #CriminalDisenfranchisement, as well as #Polisci stuff like #EU #DemocracyPromotion

My current work is on the #RuleOfLaw & #DemocraticBacksliding in the #EuropeanUnion
