Conservatism in Europe is increasingly disintegrating. While many citizens still have a need for stability and security, political conservatism is becoming less and less important. Conservative parties often focus on an apparent culture war that puts identity issues before the real issues and thus drift to the right. However, right-wing populist and radical right-wing forces, the so-called "originals", are the main beneficiaries of this throughout Europe, and the space in the political center remains unoccupied instead.
Moderate conservatism is important for democratic systems, as it makes social change acceptable and comprehensible, while at the same time emphasizing one's own values. So what should the conservatism of the future look like? How can we prevent conservatism from abolishing itself? What programmatic questions must political conservatism focus on? Our panelists will discuss these and other questions in the Salon für Grundsatzfragen.
With: Liane Bednarz (journalist & author) and Thomas Biebricher (political scientist & author of Mitte/Rechts. The International Crisis of Conservatism)
