Susana Sanz CaballeroThreats to European democracies

Susana Sanz Caballero, Professor of International Law at CEU UCH, leads two research projects, with national and regional funding, dedicated to the analysis of the "Crisis of the Rule of Law in the EU". In the current and turbulent international geostrategic landscape, European democracies suffer internal threats and external hybrid attacks that affect fundamental pillars of society: judicial independence, the fight against corruption, respect for human rights and media pluralism. Professor Sanz also studied this crisis of the rule of law in the United States in 2025, as a European grant-holder of the Fulbright Schuman Program. She was selected by the US State Department and the European Commission for a grant alongside nine other EU academics, from among more than 350 applicants.
