In this lecture Ralf Fuecks analyses the reasons behind the collapse of the political center. He speaks about the widespread fear of economic decline, unchecked globalization, and uncontrolled migration that is resulting in increasingly nationalist rhetoric and policies. Trust in democratic institutions is declining, while populism is on the rise. What is behind this political revolt, and how can we counter it?
Ralf Fuecks has been President of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, a German think tank associated with the Greens, since 1996. The primary focus of his work is on the future of liberal democracy, sustainable development and a green economy.
