Date: <\/strong>Wed\u00adnes\u00adday, April 09, 2025 The future seems more uncer\u00adtain than ever. Demo\u00adcra\u00adcies struggle to prevent finan\u00adcial crises, energy shorta\u00adges, climate change, and war\u2014so how can we look ahead with confidence?<\/p>\n In his latest book, The Lost Future: And How to Reclaim It<\/em> (Yale Uni\u00adver\u00adsity Press, 2023), Jan Zielonka argues that democracy\u2019s short-sigh\u00adted\u00adness is a key reason for poli\u00adti\u00adcal insta\u00adbility in our incre\u00adasingly inter\u00adcon\u00adnected world. Govern\u00adments remain con\u00adfi\u00adned within natio\u00adnal borders and focused on the short-term inte\u00adrests of today\u2019s voters\u2014often with devas\u00adtating conse\u00adquences for future genera\u00adtions. Zielonka calls for a new approach to poli\u00adtics that rede\u00adfi\u00adnes time and space. How should demo\u00adcracy adapt to a high-speed world? We will explore this and other pres\u00adsing ques\u00adti\u00adons with our guests.<\/p>\n Spea\u00adk\u00aders<\/strong><\/p>\n Jan Zielonka<\/strong> Commen\u00adtator Mode\u00adra\u00adtion<\/strong><\/p>\n Jaros\u0142aw Kuisz<\/strong> <\/p>\n The project is funded by Polish Insti\u00adtute Berlin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lost Future: And How to Reclaim It Date: Wed\u00adnes\u00adday, April 09, 2025 Time: 19:00 \u2013 20:30 Loca\u00adtion: Zentrum Libe\u00adrale Moderne, Reinhardt\u00adstra\u00dfe 15, 10117 Berlin The future seems more uncer\u00adtain than ever....<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":47579,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-47578","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
