Oana Popescu-Zamfir

This project deals with the conflicts at the core of our societies: How do populists, nationalists and radicals of all sorts compete for an electorate lost by mainstream pro-European parties? Can new liberal political forces or grassroots citizen movements win it back, in an age of distorted narratives? How do external disruptors/revisionists cooperate with domestic agents? Will building collective (democratic) resilience as the backbone of transatlantic (and wider) security alliances define Europe’s place amidst global competition?
