Shrinking space for civil society
Youngs, Richard Echagüe, Ana
Shrinking space for civil society :: the EU response / .-- : European Parliamentary Policy Department , April 2017 .-- 45 p. Recurso online .-- DROI . ;
The EU has developed an impressive range of policy tools for pushing back against
restrictions on civil society across the world. It has gradually improved the way it deploys
these instruments and has helped protect many activists at risk. Notwithstanding this, the
EU needs to sharpen its ‘shrinking space’ strategy. This study suggests a range of precise
policy changes it should contemplate to this end. It advocates a number of strategic
guidelines that could help make the EU’s responses more proactive; better able to tackle
the broad structural elements of the shrinking space; fully balanced between political and development approaches; and geared towards building more inclusive alliances against new restrictions on civil society.
