Demokratie in der Krise? Über Zerbrechlichkeit und Resilienz
In the organizer's words:
Democracy in crisis? On fragility and resilience
Input and discussion
Climate, migration, wars - everyone is talking about the major crises of our time and more and more people are asking themselves whether democracy can solve these mammoth tasks. And if so, at what cost? Because if, for example, more and more freedoms are restricted in the name of security, we are not far away from a crisis of liberal democracy.
But how ill-equipped are democracies really to deal with the multiple problems of the 21st century? Can only a softening of liberal democracy lead to the survival of popular rule? Or is the opposite in fact the case: that this form of government is more successful than ever, for example when it comes to minority rights or opportunities for social participation?
Wolfgang Merkel, one of Germany's most renowned scholars of democracy, will provide insights and assessments on the fragility and resilience of democracies in the SOCIETY ROOM.
With: Wolfgang Merkel (political scientist)
