Political Symposium

-

Democratic systems need to be resilient in order to guarantee stability and security. Moreover, a lively democratic system is also a diverse one, leading to the healthy exchange of different perspectives. How much diversity and resilience is needed to guarantee the ideal functioning of a political system? Can diversity also negatively impact the stability of political systems? Under this year's general theme 'Diversity and Resilience', we will discuss how power shifts on the global stage affect the stability of the world order and at all levels of governance: international, European, national, local.

At the Political Symposium, we will immerse ourselves in these topics in order to find innovative answers to the questions that continue to haunt Europe.
