MUNICH DIALOGUES ON DEMOCRACY PRESENTS:
A CONVERSATION WITH JAN-WERNER MUELLER
Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences, Professor of Politics, Princeton University
Trump is a symptom, not the cause of the trouble experienced by the US. The talk takes us back to basic democratic principles and argues that we need to understand what has gone wrong with the two institutions which, ever since the nineteenth century, have been considered crucial for making representative democracy work: political parties and free media. A number of concrete ways to rethink and re-design these institutions are offered.
Monday, 21 September 2020, 8:00pm CEST
No registration required.
For details regarding the concept and meeting point please contact your school / university representative or Clemens Rinnebach ([email protected])

Today in the United States as well as in Europe, we spend the present defending what is at risk, and the future appears chiefly as a threat. Yet the very idea of freedom, once central in democratic societies, depends upon a vision of the future. In this lecture Professor Snyder will address the deep threats to freedom, and the possibilities for a future with greater freedom.
Timothy Snyder, Levin Professor of History at Yale and a Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna, will explore and explain his latest research about current risks and perils in democratic societies, and possible solutions.
