SUMMARY:“Double Exposure: Is Interest Politics Dead?”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG and the Geothe Institut are having a discussion with Dr. Delia Baldassarri and Dr. Jan-Werner Müller on “Double Exposure: Is Interest Politics Dead?” \nToday’s societies are characterized by a high degree of diversity and complexity. Cultural\, ethnic\, religious\, and linguistic differences can make social cohesion difficult. Against this backdrop\, political and public institutions can foster solidarity across social groups. How do these different interest groups interact with public and political institutions? As polarization and populism reshape the political arena\, understanding the role of interest politics is critical. Independent courts\, political parties\, and a free press can play a critical role in this regard. Dr. Delia Baldassarri and Dr. Jan-Werner Müller will explore the forces promoting and disrupting social cohesion in today’s complex environment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Delia Baldassari is Julius Silver\, Roslyn S.
