in englischer SpracheWhat are the causes of the war in Ukraine and what is their impact on the success of ongoing democratic reforms in the country? The collision between democratic values and the ethics of war is at the core of the answer. What happens to weak democracies and democratisation when the state engages in war? How can we uphold the protection of democracy and territorial integrity? Join international experts and Alpbach scholarship holders from Ukraine to discuss these questions in working groups!
