SUMMARY:Petra Dobner: From Enemy of the Constitution to Hostility Toward the Constitution?  The Challenges of Militant Democracy
DESCRIPTION:\nDemocratic constitutions are fascinating institutions, as they provide a framework for politics and society and link legislation to fundamental values. This works in constitutions that create a shared space of values and beliefs, going beyond daily conflicts, building strong institutions, and protecting both themselves and the societies they shape from abuse of power and wrongdoing. For many years, Germany's Basic Law seemed to provide strong protection, but the big question is whether it still does today.\n\n\nThis lecture will trace the founding of the Federal Republic and examine the current challenges facing democracy. It will explore whether democracy must do more than just defend itself against threats to the constitution—whether it must actively oppose growing hostility toward its foundations—and whether it can rise to the challenge.\n\nProf. Dr. Petra Dobner is a political scientist and holds the Chair of "System Analysis and Comparative Political Science" at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.\n\nAdmission is free\n\n\nThe event will be held in the English language and is part of the project "Democratic Society and Totalitarian Challenge," in cooperation with the Evangelical Educational Center Hospitalhof Stuttgart.\n
