At the beginning of the Olympic Games, China and Russia announced a new world order. This was followed shortly afterwards by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party and the beginning of Xi Jingping's third term in office in October, not only does China's authoritarian course seem to be hardening, but the country's foreign policy rhetoric is also intensifying. There is an increasing impression that a new world order has already begun, with authoritarian regimes on the advance and liberal democracies increasingly on the defensive. How can democracies succeed in becoming more appealing again, from both an internal and external perspective?

SPEAKER: Prof. Dr. Michael Zürn, Professor of International Relations, Freie Universität Berlin; Director of the Global Governance Unit at the Berlin Social Science Center Berlin (WZB)
