RED-SPINEL stands for 'Respond to Emerging Dissensus: SuPranational Instruments and Norms of European democracy'. It is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral Research and Innovation Action bringing together 11 partner organisations from 8 European countries. It will jointly analyse the changing nature of dissensus surrounding liberal democracy and its implications for EU supranational policy instruments. RED-SPINEL will unpack the inter-connected drivers of contemporary dissensus surrounding liberal democracy. Its findings will be rooted in theoretical innovation and original empirical analyses. Its concept-building effort centred on the notion of 'dissensus' will explore first, how contemporary dissensus surrounding liberal democracy differs from previous debates and second, the fundamental questions it raises about future democratic practices and the rule of law. Ultimately, RED-SPINEL will provide a typology of said dissensus, map the principal actors of the dissensus in Europe and unpack its two underlying drivers i.e., heightened internal contestation over liberal democracy and external competition from alternative illiberal models. Empirically, RED-SPINEL will focus on the key policy instruments and legal mechanisms shaping the EU's efforts in support of democracy and the rule of law. The studied instruments include the EU rule of law toolbox, the neighbourhood and accession instruments, the European semester, fundamental rights and judicial instruments, as well as citizen participation platforms. Furthermore, through a series of stakeholder events, RED-SPINEL will flesh out the implications of its findings for public policy stakeholders (i.e., legal professionals, policymakers, European youth) as well as EU instruments aimed at responding to said dissensus. The project will develop a range of scientifically informed policy recommendations and capacity-building efforts able to foster innovative democratic practices and respond to the present-day dissensus.

红尖晶石代表“回应新兴分歧：超国家手段和欧洲民主规范”。这是一项跨学科、跨部门的研究和创新行动，汇集了来自 8 个欧洲国家的 11 个合作组织。它将共同分析围绕自由民主的分歧性质的变化及其对欧盟超国家政策工具的影响。红尖晶石将揭示当代围绕自由民主的分歧的相互关联的驱动因素。其研究结果将植根于理论创新和原创实证分析。其以“分歧”概念为中心的概念构建工作将首先探讨围绕自由民主的当代分歧与以前的辩论有何不同，其次探讨它对未来民主实践和法治提出的基本问题。最终，红尖晶石将提供上述分歧的类型学，绘制欧洲分歧的主要参与者，并揭示其两个潜在驱动因素，即对自由民主的激烈内部争论和来自其他非自由模式的外部竞争。根据经验，红尖晶石将重点关注塑造欧盟支持民主和法治努力的关键政策工具和法律机制。研究的工具包括欧盟法治工具箱、邻里和入盟工具、欧洲学期、基本权利和司法工具以及公民参与平台。此外，通过一系列利益相关者活动，RED-SPINEL 将充实其研究结果对公共政策利益相关者（即法律专业人士、政策制定者、欧洲青年）以及旨在回应上述分歧的欧盟文书的影响。该项目将制定一系列科学的政策建议和能力建设工作，以促进创新的民主实践并回应当今的分歧。
