Strategeo Institute and Anglo-American University in cooperation with GLOBSEC are pleased to invite you to a public debate entitled “Will the Frost Also Come from the West? The Rise of Illiberal Political Movements in Germany, France and the United Kingdom.”
The debate will be held in English and will explore the growing support for illiberal political movements in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. What is driving their growing support? How is the relationship between voters and traditional political parties changing, and where might this development take European politics? Our guests will seek to address these and other questions.
