Hannah Arendt Days 2022

Description

There is much talk of a crisis in the social democratic parties. However, a number of traditional center-right parties also seem to find themselves in a dilemma, to say the least: Should they open up to progressive urban milieus? Or sharpen their conservative profile? While Angela Merkel stood for one model, Donald Trump and Sebastian Kurz, as representatives of radicalized conservatism, represented the other. In their own parties, they reduced democracy, relying on small advisory circles and personalization. Is radicalized conservatism paving the way for autocracies?
