This lecture assembles scholars to discuss the extent to which both the East and the West are artificial constructs and shortcuts attempting to simplify the complex reality of contemporary democracy, and how to move beyond this outdated paradigm – bridging the East-West divide.
Speakers: Lenka Bustikova (Arizona State University), Ondrej Cisar (Charles University), Fernando Casal Bertoa (University of Nottingham), Zsolt Enyedi (CEU/Oxford University), Petra Guasti (Charles University) and Milada Vachudova (UNC Chapel Hill)
