Nervous democracy: How much nervousness can democracy tolerate? Where do these tensions come from? How is our concept of democracy changing?

How much nervousness can democracy tolerate? Where do these tensions come from? How is our concept of democracy currently changing? Which forms of democracy do we need to preserve, which do we need to unlearn and relearn? And where will we be in five years' time?

The journalist and author Georg Diez will be talking to SCRIPTS researchers on three evenings in the Short Talk about the state and future of “nervous democracy”: about the transformation shock of democracy after 1989, about the tension between hysteria and reason using the example of the USA and about the politics of unrest, protest and revolt as essential elements of a living democracy.
