For the September edition of the #DemocracyDrinks The Hague we were happy to be joined by PhD researcher Amy Eaglestone from the University of Birmingham. Co-hosted by NIMD, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee and The Hague Humanity Hub, the Democracy Drinks are a monthly networking event that bring together fellow thinkers, advocates, and enthusiasts in pro-democracy spaces.
Amy focussed her opening talk on Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine, pointing out that the attack is symptomatic of the broader tensions in the Eastern Neighbourhood. Together we explored what these tensions are, and what implications they have for the new EU-candidate countries of Georgia and Moldova?
