Lecture series: 'Democratization and power structures' "Outline of a research agenda" (Prof. Dr. Svenja Kranich & Hanna Bruns) (Part of the lecture series ‘Democratisation and Power Structures’) As opening lecture for our lecture series on Democratization and Power Structures, we will present an overview of the overarching research agenda which the collaborative research project has set for itself. Focusing on developments in societies since the 1960s, our research interest is to gain a better understanding of the process of democratization, which has been stressed more and more in many societies as an ideal worth striving towards, and the power structures underlying these societies, which may sometimes counteract the democratization ideals, including liberal values, non-discrimination and equality, that are explicitly stressed in discourse. https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/research-and-teaching/research-profile/transdisciplinary-research-areas/tra-4-individuals/events-1/veranstaltungen-1/democratization-and-power-structures-outline-of-a-research-agenda https://www.uni-bonn.de/++resource++plone-logo.svg
