Um þessa rafbók

Democratic Value Shift examines the subtle yet significant ways European governance has shifted the balance between individual liberty and state authority since the Cold War. It argues that while European democracies maintain a commitment to fundamental rights, policies have increasingly curtailed individual freedoms in response to perceived threats. This shift isn't a deliberate abandonment of democratic values but a gradual adaptation to exigencies, subtly eroding individual autonomy. The book uniquely emphasizes the gradual erosion of individual liberties rather than overt violations of human rights.

The book explores interconnected themes: increased security measures, online regulation, and the evolving understanding of collective rights versus individual liberties. For example, the expansion of surveillance powers to monitor potential threats raises questions about privacy and freedom of expression. Similarly, the regulation of online hate speech, while intended to protect vulnerable groups, can potentially stifle free speech. These trends challenge the narrative of continuous progress towards greater individual autonomy.

Structured in three parts, the book first introduces key concepts, then examines specific instances of this shift through case studies, and finally analyzes the implications for the future of European democracy. It draws from legal documents, policy reports, statistical data, and interviews, providing a multifaceted understanding of the issues.

By highlighting these trends, Democratic Value Shift provides valuable insights for policymakers and citizens interested in safeguarding fundamental freedoms in an era of increasing state power.
