Ivan Krastev, Christian Ultsch: After Europe

Recorded on 27 November 2017 at the IWM Library. Can democratic institutions be transformed to serve exclusionary ends? Why has the ongoing refugee crisis transformed the politics of Central and Eastern European states—despite the fact that these countries host virtually no migrants? And what do demographic and generational changes mean for the liberal consensus that emerged in the wake of communism’s fall? In this Political Salon Ivan Krastev will discuss with Christian Ultsch these and other questions raised in his new book  After Europe (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017). Ivan Krastev Permanent Fellow, IWM; Chair, Center for Liberal Strategies in Sofia Christian Ultsch Head, Foreign Politics Department, Die Presse; Author of Flucht – Wie der Staat die Kontrolle verlor (Molden Verlag, 2017) In cooperation with Die Presse and generously supported by EVN Weitere Informationen: https://www.iwm.at/
