MPIfG Annual Colloquium 2023: Democracy under Stress
The MPIfG is holding its 16th Annual Colloquium on December 7 and 8, 2023. Democracies today face a multitude of problems: Disruptive digitalization, escalating geopolitical conflicts, unresolved ecological crises, and increasing controversies over migration and cultural identity. How do political and social actors deal with the current challenges, and where does new potential for democratic problem-solving lie? At the event, experts from the fields of research, business, and politics will consider these questions.
