Three European responses to the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, 26 March 2019
The seminar will provide an outline how and why the ‘European’ response was so mixed: in Belgium the compact was first accepted but next caused a political crisis and the government toppled over it; in the Netherlands (and also Iceland, Lithuania, Malta and Denmark), there was a ‘stipulation’ added within the wider context of acceptance and in Austria, the new right-wing government rejected the compact and refused to sign it (just as in Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Bulgaria).
Advocacy and Participation in Government Decision-Making, 9 March 2019
“The intention of public participation provisions in the Constitution is clear – to influence government policy outcomes so that they reflect “the will of the people”. Therefore, a vibrant civil society plays an indispensable role in a democracy. It facilitates public engagement with government organs, including legislatures, and ensures that institutions, policies and laws enjoy legitimacy among citizens.” – Nkosikhulule Nyembezi & Sam Waterhouse
