Democracy and non-democratic alternatives in the globalized world

Original language description

The international workshop contributed to the ongoing debate about the de-consolidation of democracy. It tried to explore the contemporary disappointment with the ways how democracy is functioning, manifested in the falling confidence in democratic institutions. Worldwide, traditional political parties are losing their electoral base and are unable to reflect the growing contradictions and inequality in society adequately. Polarization of society and marginalization of some groups lead to the support of new populist-oriented political actors around the world. The organizers brought together a set of experts from around the world (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Germany, Hong Kong, Brazil) to explore these issues, from the perspectives of governance (Hauke Hartmann, Petra Guasti, Olga Gyarfasova), populism in non-Western context (Alessandro Pinzani, Susanne Yuk Ping Choi), and transitional justice (Roman David, Dobrinka Kostova, Marek Hrubec). The aim was to focus on similarities and differences between three key regions: Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia. During the workshop, two recently published monographs were presented - Communists and Their Victims: The Quest for Justice in the Czech Republic (2018, by Roman David) and Democracy under Stress: Changing Perspectives on Democracy, Governance and Their Measurement (2018, edited by Petra Guasti and Zdenka Mansfeldova).
