State of democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law: Populism - How strong are Europe's checks and balances?
Increasing numbers of Europeans faced with austerity, unemployment and inequality are seeing
globalisation as a threat and are tempted by
populist parties. To address this trend, it is vital that social rights such as
employment, health and education be respected within inclusive societies.
Citizens must also be fully confident about their national and European
institutions. They require independent and impartial justice, effective
parliaments and pluralistic media.
The new report by the Secretary General of the Council of
Europe State
of democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law: Populism - How strong are
Europe's checks and balances? assesses the functioning of institutions and
of societies across the 47 countries of the Organisation in the current
political and social context. The report also explains how responsible
political players can work together to challenge populism and to foster safe
and stable states.

Computer programs and software; digital imagery, digital video; video games; web pages and websites, including social media; data and databases; digital audio, such as mp3s; and e-books are examples of digital media. Digital media are frequently contrasted with print media, such as printed books, newspapers and magazines, and other traditional or analog media, such as pictures, film or audio tape."... and be ready to answer the following questions:
