Europe is home to more than two-thirds of the world’s liberal democracies, according to the V-Dem Institute's Democracy Report 2022. However, the same report found that democracy has weakened in all but a select few of these countries over the past ten years. While the causes are multi-faceted and often country-specific, the report also identified common threads including increasing polarization driven by online misinformation and disinformation, corporate secrecy shaped by the few and inaccessible to the many, and a widespread failure to meaningfully involve the public in decision-making.


During the same 10 years where democracy has been in decline globally, and in Europe, OGP has grown to include 77 national, 106 local members, and thousands of civil society organizations , collaborating to deliver almost 5000 open government reforms to date. Other mechanisms include the 2017 adoption of the OECD Recommendation on Open Government, which paved the way to a harmonized design and implementation of open government policies. This dialogue will explore whether and how open government mechanisms and reforms can rise to meet the major challenges to democratic values in Europe and beyond.

Secondo il Rapporto sulla democrazia 2022 del V-Dem Institute, l'Europa ospita più di due terzi delle democrazie liberali del mondo. Tuttavia, il rapporto rileva quanto la democrazia si sia indebolita in tutti i paesi negli ultimi dieci anni, tranne che in pochi eletti. Sebbene le cause siano multiple e spesso specifiche per ogni paese, il rapporto ha anche identificato elementi comuni, tra cui una crescente polarizzazione causata dalla disinformazione, inclusa quella online, un’inesistente trasparenza a livello aziendale portata avanti da pochi e inaccessibile ai molti, e un diffuso fallimento nel coinvolgere significativamente il pubblico nel processo decisionale.

Negli stessi dieci anni in cui la democrazia era in a livello globale e in Europa, OGP cresceva fino a includere 77 membri nazionali, 106 locali e migliaia di organizzazioni della società civile, collaborando per realizzare quasi 5000 riforme del governo aperto fino ad oggi. Altri meccanismi includono l'adozione nel 2017 della Raccomandazione dell'OCSE sul governo aperto, che ha avviato un processo di armonizzazione della progettazione e attuazione delle politiche di governo aperto. Questo dialogo esplorerà se e come i meccanismi e le riforme di governo aperto possono crescere per affrontare le principali sfide ai valori democratici in Europa e oltre.
