dc.description.abstract	This paper analyzes how the European Union (EU) has been addressing the crisis of democracy both internally and internationally. For that purpose, it articulates a multi-level governance lens of analysis with a process tracing methodology. Multi-level governance is here understood both as an analytical framework seeking to explain the vertical and horizontal exercise of authority in complex structures composed of multiple actors, and as an answer to the challenge posed by the management of “transnational common goods” or global threats. It implies an attempt to establish a delicate balance promoted by sufficiently decentralized governance that does not, however, fail to provide networks of interactions and good practices capable of promoting collective action. This approach assesses the distribution of authority across different levels. Based on these definitions, the paper seeks to identify the EU’s democracy promotion strategies in: Hungary, as a Member State whose democratic performance has been regressing considerably; Turkey as the most complex candidate state; and Ukraine, which was previously part of the European Neighborhood Policy and is now on a fast track to enlargement. The goal is to understand how EU’s actions towards these case studies have contributed to address the crisis of democracy both within Europe and beyond.	eng
