Starting from the assumption that the concept of liberal democracy is inherently charged with tension stemming from the coupling of popular sovereignty with mistrust in popular government and with its (self-)limitation accordingly, this interdisciplinary symposium will look at the current challenges liberal democracies face both internally and externally. In addition to conceptual analysis and historical reconstruction, the following questions are of particular interest: What forms of legislative self-limitation\/separation of powers are indispensable for \u201cenlightened\u201d democracies, and when would such constraints risk casting doubt on the promise of democratic rule (e.g., liberal democracies, fundamental rights and the role of courts)? How can liberal democracies withstand the populist challenge or even gain strength from it? By what means can liberal democracies protect themselves from internal as well as external threats without betraying their own value-based foundations (e.g, liberal dilemmas of militant democracies)? If the institutional arrangements of liberal democracies always are attempts to balance their inherent tensions, what possibilities exist for constitutional development and re-arrangements in light of present needs?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ein Plakat zu der Veranstaltung finden Sie <a href=\"https:\/\/baypol.eu\/zentrum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Plakat-A3-Symposium-Liberal-Democracy-02.pdf\">hier<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die 35.
