Demokratie, ein Auslaufmodell?

In recent months, we have witnessed that the measures taken by the federal government to urgently contain the Corona pandemic have been described as an intervention of a dictatorship into the freedom of the people. At the same time, there seems to be a growing desire for authoritarian politics. Many people forget what it means to live in a dictatorship. How should democracy be shaped in the 21st century? What role do the media play in this? What challenges do the many crises pose for democracy? And how can the pandemic also be understood as a political opportunity? With contributions from Jean Asselborn, Joachim Gauck, Karl-Rudolf Korte, Herta Müller, Hedwig Richter, Rüdiger Voss, and Michael Rutz.
