	Liberalism in Crisis: Between Totalitarian Responses and Progressive Dreams	Tue, 25.02.2020	Panels and Discussions	Adam Ramsay Ivan Krastev Ivan Vejvoda Shalini Randeria Venelin GanevJacques Rupnik, Ana Blazeva, Katerina Kolozova	Liberalism in Crisis: Between Totalitarian Responses and Progressive Dreams Tue, 25.02.2020 Speakers: Adam Ramsay Ivan Krastev Ivan Vejvoda Shalini Randeria Venelin GanevJacques Rupnik, Ana Blazeva, Katerina Kolozova Series: Panels and Discussions In the past decade, many have spoken of the “crisis of democracy” due to the rise of populism in Europe, both in the East and the West, in the Union’s member states and in the aspiring member countries. But is democracy really what is at stake and in crisis nowadays, or is it a whole set of political-ideological values that are termed “liberal”? Can we argue that democracy is not a value system but an empty form of a political organization, a syntax that can be furnished with different semantics, including that of the illiberal world view as Viktor Orban has proposed years ago?

	Does Capitalism Erode Democracy?	Tue, 03.12.2019	Lecture	Shalini RanderiaEva Illouz	Does Capitalism Erode Democracy? Tue, 03.12.2019 Speakers: Shalini RanderiaEva Illouz Series: Lecture “Does Capitalism erode Democracy?” Die israelische Soziologin Eva Illouz, die mit ihren Büchern über die Liebe im Konsumkapitalismus berühmt wurde, im Vortrag und Gespräch mit Johannes Kaup. In ihren Büchern “Warum Liebe wehtut” und “Warum Liebe endet” zeigt Eva Illouz, wie durch Selbstoptimierung, Kommerzialisierung des Intimlebens und digitale Kommunikation das Gefühlsleben zutiefst verunsichert wird. In ihrem neuesten Buch “Das Glücksdiktat und wie es unser Leben beherrscht” kritisiert die Soziologin die boomende kapitalistische Glücksindustrie, die uns weismachen will, dass wir nur dann glücklich sein können, wenn wir unsere negativen Gefühle blockieren und uns selbst optimieren. Im Anschluß an ihren Vortrag spricht Johannes Kaup mit Eva Illouz darüber, welche Faktoren zur Entfremdung zwischen Individuum, Gesellschaft und der Politik führen und welche Rolle dabei die neoliberal-kapitalistische Ideologie spielt, aber auch welche Möglichkeiten der Resilienz und des Widerstands es angesichts dieser Entwicklungen gibt.

However, in recent decades those concepts and their institutional expressions are beginning to threaten and undermine the spirit and norms of democracy everywhere, including in economically advanced liberal societies in the West. This conference interrogated and explored this challenge “internal” to the democratic project itself. Read more

	Democracy and Its Enemies	Wed, 22.05.2019	Panels and Discussions	Chantal Mouffe Ludger Hagedorn Shalini RanderiaPeter Engelmann	Democracy and Its Enemies Wed, 22.05.2019 Speakers: Chantal Mouffe Ludger Hagedorn Shalini RanderiaPeter Engelmann Series: Panels and Discussions Democracy is undoubtedly the most successful form of government in our times.

We are witnessing instead a growing erosion of democracy and its legitimacy from the inside. The title the IWM publication expresses this new threat succinctly Wenn Demokratien demokratisch untergehen (When Democracies are dismantled democratically). The volume marks the resumption of a series of IWM publications in cooperation with Passagen Verlag, Vienna. Read more

	Sphere of Influence I	Wed, 05.04.2017	Lecture	Shalini RanderiaStephen Kotkin	Sphere of Influence I Wed, 05.04.2017 Speakers: Shalini RanderiaStephen Kotkin Series: Lecture The liberal, rules-based international order did not take shape predominantly as a consequence of highmindedness, but as a sphere of influence. That, moreover, was to a great extent inspired, and sustained, by a comprehensive cold war with the Soviet Union (or Second World, as it was once called). The sphere of influence known as the West played a significant part in European integration, spurred phenomenal global investments in science and research, gave additional impetus to desegregation and civil rights in the U.S, and more.
