Workshop on Democtratic Constitutionalism

Notice, 2024 09 06:

The programme had to be discontinued due to the lack of budgetary support. It will be continued outside the Vienna Faculty of Law.

The Workshop on Democratic Constitutionalism is dedicated to three major questions:

(1) Is "liberal democracy" more than residue that remains after we have subtracted from democracy its disturbing features, such as "populism"?

(2) Are the constitutional conflicts in the relation between the European Union and former Eastern European member states due to different understandings of history and must they be taken into account in calibrating the scope of legitimate variation among constitutional democracies?

(3) Does the loss of both the leftist project and of its Christian democratic alternative suggest that, in the absence of a transformative perspective, democracy is likely to be reduced to means for acting out impotent desires for destruction?

 

The events are organised in cooperation with Fabio Wolkenstein from the Department of Political Science.
