In an era where the post-Cold War dream of a cooperative, rules-based global order is slipping away, democracies find themselves at a crossroads. Power politics is making a comeback, alliances are shifting, and the foundational values of liberal democracy are under strain. From Beijing to Washington, from Brussels to Moscow, global actors are operating in a world shaped less by consensus and more by competition.
Security Talks: New Horizons of Democracy invites young professionals and policy thinkers to confront this new reality head-on. Through interactive, small-group discussions, we will explore how democratic actors can respond to a fragmented global order, what kind of leadership is emerging, and how the idea of democracy itself might need to evolve.
️The evening will feature interactive table discussions led by moderators, followed by a networking reception.
