 Facebook event\n\nAbout: The European Union and its member states seem to 
 be in a permanent\, never-ending crisis mode. In addition to the external 
 challenges such as the conflict in Syria\, the tensions in international t
 rade policy and climate change\, the Union also has to cope with internal 
 crises\, including the long-standing allegation of a democratic deficit\, 
 the growth of euroskeptic forces\, the unfinished exit of the United Kingd
 om and the non-compliance with democratic standards and the rule of law in
  various member states. Between 23 and 26 May 2019\, the EU’s citizens wil
 l elect a new European Parliament. Polls are showing a rise of euroskeptic
  but also green parties in most countries\, while the party groups that ar
 e traditionally best represented in the European Parliament seem to be on 
 the losing end. Given these trends\, the electoral outcome of the 2019 EP 
 elections will not only influence the future composition of the European C
 ommission\, the EU’s key executive\, but will also determine the future de
 velopment of the European Union. Consequently\, the forthcoming elections 
 represent a crucial moment for the EU integration project. Against this ba
 ckdrop\, the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSDC)\, the J
 ean Monnet Centre Montréal and the Canada Research Chair in Electoral Demo
 cracy will hold a public forum with four EU experts who will discuss the c
 urrent key issues of EU integration and engage in an open debate with the 
 event’s participants.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n	Laurie Beaudonnet - Université de 
 Montréal\n	Ruth Dassonneville - Université de Montréal\n	Katjana Gatterman -
  University of Amsterdam\n	Joost van Spanje - University of Amsterdam\n	Jae-
 Jae Spoon- University of Pittsburgh\n	Daniel Stockemer - University of Otta
 wa\n\n\nThe public forum is sponsored by the CSDC\, the Centre Jean Monnet
 \, the Canada Research Chair in Electoral Democracy\, the Fonds de recherc
 he du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) and the SSHRC.\n
