Lecture and discussion with Joseph Zissels
Global right-wing conservative shift: myth or reality?
This lecture-discussion is devoted to the study of the phenomenon called the global right-conservative shift. In recent years, we have seen a rise in the popularity of right-wing and conservative political forces in various countries. During the lecture, we will consider whether this phenomenon is part of a broad global trend or whether it is regional and situational.
This lecture-discussion is especially relevant in the context of recent global political events, in particular, the victory of Donald Trump in the US elections. The uniqueness of this meeting lies in the in-depth analysis of the connection between the right-wing conservative shift and the prospects for a new world order that is increasingly moving away from globalism and liberal ideals.
The lecture-discussion will contribute to a better understanding of whether the world is indeed moving towards a new right-wing consensus and what this means for the global system of values, the economy and international security.
