Climate and Capital: Challenges of Democracy Today
Craig Calhoun, Dilip Gaonkar, Lars Tønder and Sofia Näsström
Debate
What are the possible exit routes from the imbricated crises of the Anthropocene? Key figures in the study of democracy and globalization review some of the main challenges of the present in the closing event of the seminar Climate, Capital and Democracy.
The challenges of rising social inequality and the climate emergency are affecting the foundations of democracy and its project of life in common. Populism is gaining ground in liberal democracies through an effective use of mass media and political discourse, threatening some longstanding rights and freedoms and subverting narratives about the climate emergency and environmentalism. In this round table, internationally renowned sociologists and thinkers such as Craig Calhoun, Dilip Gaonkar, Lars Tønder and Sofia Näsström will analyse the major challenges facing societies across the globe and suggest possible remedies for this progressive democratic decline.
Moderators: Camil Ungureanu
Participants: Craig Calhoun, Dilip Gaonkar, Sofia Näsström, Lars Tønder
