What is the EU’s vision of democracy in the era of post-truth politics? How is it fighting against the dangers of disinformation and political polarisation? And how can it balance regulating online content and upholding democratic values?

This TEPSA Animated Explainer focuses on the EU’s strategy to counter the effects of post-truth politics and looks at the core elements of the European Democracy Action Plan (EDAP). The video is based on the findings of the RECLAIM publication, “What Is the EU’s Vision of Democracy in the Post Truth Scenario? A Conceptual Analysis of the Institutional Narratives of the Public Sphere in the 'Democracy Action Plan'”, written by Elena García-Guitián, Luis Bouza & Taru Haapala.

This Animated Explainer has been created in collaboration of the Horizon-funded "Reclaiming Liberal Democracy in the Post-Factual Age" (RECLAIM) project, which investigates the impact of post-truth politics on liberal democracy and looks for ways to mitigate it.
