Democracies around the world are in crisis. How do they stand up to military threats and the fragmentation of society? Francis Fukuyama is putting our system to a stress test: Are the principles of liberalism as a foundation for our actions still up to date? In Berlin, he will present his new book for the first time in Germany. He talks about the values that genuine liberalism must represent, the extent to which neoliberalism has damaged its reputation, and how we must respond to the challenges of the present if we do not want to lose our freedom.

![Ours: Writing Black Communities (EN)
The 1830s in Ours, a town that cannot be found on any map: just north of St. Louis, the mysterious Saint gathers a utopian community to protect themselves from enslavement and violence. Phillip B. Williams’ novel is a »triumph of imagination over bleak reality, of magic over realism, of poetry over the prose of circumstances« [ZEIT]. He speaks with Sharon Dodua Otoo about black history and community in literature.
In cooperation with the Picador Guest Professorship for Literature.

![Futuring the liberal script #3: Sortiermaschine Grenze [dt.]
Grenzen sind machtvolle Sortiermaschinen und nach wie vor entscheiden sie über Fragen der Zugehörigkeit, der Mobilität und Zirkulation. Nicht allein Entgrenzung, sondern zugleich Vergrenzung, der Aufbau digitalisierter Smart Borders, die Ausdehnung von Grenzzonen und der Bau und die Militarisierung von Mauergrenzen gehen mit der Globalisierung einher. Grenzen erfüllen ihre Trennfunktion effektiver und komplexer denn je — im 21. Jahrhundert zudem als globale und hoch diversifizierte Unternehmung. Seine aktuellen Untersuchungen diskutiert der Soziologe Steffen Mau mit der Schriftstellerin Nora Bossong.
In Kooperation mit dem Exzellencluster Contestations of the Liberal Script — SCRIPTS und C.H. Beck Verlag.
