The speaker
Roman Krakovsky is a historian, lecturer at the Global Studies Institute at the University of Geneva, Sciences Po and at Sorbonne University. A specialist in Central and Eastern Europe, he is notably the author of
L’Europe centrale et orientale de 1918 à la chute du mur de Berlin (Armand Colin, 2017) and
Populisme en Europe centrale et orientale. Un avertissement pour l’avenir (Fayard, 2019).
The lecture (in English)
Central Europe is today one of the hotbeds of populism. In the name of defending national interests, its illiberal democracies attack justice and the media and challenge the universal values of equality and freedom. Fears for the survival of the community are one of the main drivers of these policies, and one of the keys to understand its ideological premises. It may also be a way of finding ways out of the crisis that may appear, in some ways, to be a kind of dead end.

Lecture series: »Perspektives of Social Democracy in Europe«
Throughout Europe, social democratic and democratic socialist parties have suffered dramatic losses of voter support in recent years. At the same time, new political movements, often right-wing populist parties, have been able to win large numbers of votes in many countries. The historical, cultural, social and political causes for this development differ from country to country. Nevertheless, it also grows out of common or similar roots and overarching trends.
A series of lectures at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften will focus on the »Perspectives of Social Democracy in Europe«. The series will analyse and compare the causes that have led to the current situation of social democracy in different countries. It will also examine the question of whether transnational cooperation within the European Union in particular offers social democracy the opportunity to take on a new role and gain strength. Given the current challenges of parliamentary democracy, this question is also of great importance for the other democratic parties and movements in Europe.
