Thinking out loud: Can democracy be saved?

Join fellow members and Chatham House’s Europe Programme Director to discuss key questions facing democracy. A post-event drinks reception will follow this event.

Event date and time: 27 January 2022 — 18:30 TO 19:15 GMT

Event location: In person — Chatham House

Have you ever wondered how Chatham House researchers approach the big ideas that become research? Do you enjoy meeting other Chatham House members and engaging with questions that open your mind? ‘Thinking Out Loud’ is a new event series from Chatham House. It invites a small group of members to a live, unscripted discussion with a Chatham House researcher. This in-person event is a way for researchers and members to think out loud to help shape ideas for future research.

 Hans Kundnani, Europe Programme Director at Chatham House will pose key questions about democracy:

  • Does Europe face the same threats to democracy as the U.S.?
  • Are Europe and the UK really “polarized” - or is the problem that there is not enough polarization?
  • Is there really a “culture war” in the UK comparable to that in the US?

Join this event to engage with other members on these critical questions. A drinks reception will follow this event.

As there are limited spaces available for this event, places will be balloted. Please email Linda Bedford to enter the ballot. You will be notified by Noon on Tuesday 25 January if you have been successful in securing a place.
