RESILIENT DEMOCRACY

How can we renew democracy in times of intensified crises? In the face of authoritarian threats, the 17th Leuphana Conference Week asks how emancipatory achievements can be defended and translated for our times. How can climate policy free itself from cultural struggles and open up to intergenerational cooperation? How can we succeed in building humane development paths - from migration policy to international and security policy conflicts? How can the potential of artificial intelligence be used for the idea of democracy?

How do we shape a resilient democracy that has our future in mind?
