SUMMARY:Democracies in Distress:  Europe and the United States
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On both sides of the Atlantic\, popular confidence in political institutions has fallen and voters are increasingly disenchanted with mainstream political parties. In the United States\, political polarization is at an all-time high and in Europe political splintering is weakening long-established parties. Additionally\, citizens are unable to determine which news sources are trustworthy and increasingly influenced by fake news and conspiracy theories promulgated by both domestic and foreign actors (namely China and Russia). What are some of the causes of these trends and what can be done to address them? \nAnne Applebaum\, Staff Writer\, The Atlantic \nModerated by:\nDr. David Deissner\, Executive Director\, Atlantik-Brücke[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_0XX5kcuMQF2yyrjXwdZJIQ” css=”.vc_custom_1625674355669{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Understanding the Rise of lliberal Politics in Europe and the U.S. - And What to Do About It
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The decline of established political parties\, media\, and interest groups has opened the door to anti-democratic forces\, posing new challenges for our democracies. This event will examine how Europe’s establishment parties are faltering and how the rise of social media poses new challenges on both sides of the Atlantic. What can be done to rebuild confidence and to increase citizen engagement to improve the effectiveness of our democracies? \nDr. Daniel Ziblatt\, Eaton Professor of Government at Harvard University and Director of the Transformations of Democracy Group at the WZB Social Science Center Berlin \nModerated by:\nPaulina Fröhlich\, Head of Future Democracy Programme\, Das Progressive Zentrum[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_z6gHYzw0SUWUnImAIXVCeg%3Fmc_cid%3Dbd98816c47%26mc_eid%3D1cbde7144f” css=”.vc_custom_1625836589046{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
