In an era marked by a crisis of liberal values—notably within Europe—and mounting challenges to fundamental rights, Standing Up for the Voiceless? explores the European Union’s evolving role in fostering political inclusion. At its core, the volume seeks to engage with a pressing question: does the EU truly amplify the voices of the marginalized—or, more pointedly, the voiceless? Emerging from the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence “Un-Muting Europe,” this collection brings together fresh perspectives from early-career scholars across disciplines and borders.
