Is Dutch democracy at risk? When does a liberal democracy cease to be a liberal democracy? Leaders such as Orbán, Trump, and Putin came to power through elections, yet repeatedly overstep the boundaries of the rule of law. How does a country slide from democracy into autocracy, and what can we learn from this? How can we make our own liberal democracy resilient against internal subversion, for example by far-right and populist forces? Professor of political science Sarah de Lange discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Dutch political system and explains how a resilient democracy can be designed. About This event is an initiative by the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP) with the support of the University of Amsterdam. Science ＆ Cocktails Amsterdam is presented in cooperation with Paradiso Amsterdam Line-up Club Sarah de Lange About the speaker Sarah de Lange is Professor of Dutch Politics at the Institute of Political Science at Leiden University. Her research focuses on extreme and radical right-wing politics, and she believes that as a political scientist she has not only the task of studying democracy but also of protecting it.
