Summary/Rövid ismertető:
At this conference we want to explore these significant changes in policy, statecraft and patterns of mobilization in relation to ALE. We want to return to the question of how neoliberalism relates to democracy and the practice of democratic citizenship. We also want to open up the question of how to think about and respond to increasing authoritarianism. In doing so we wish to explore how neoliberalism relates to authoritarianism and also to consider how these phenomena might be usefully differentiated. The aim here is to make an effort to collectively find adequate terms for the what has occurred in recent years and what is emerging from a period of rapid change in capitalism. In reflecting on these themes, we invite colleagues to consider local histories and patterns in democratic citizenship and learning of active democratic citizenship in present conditions.
