Title: Rethinking Democracy – How Megatrends Shape Our Future
Abstract: Andrea Römmele, Professor of Political Communication, Dean and Vice President at the Hertie School in Berlin, researches the impact that major societal 'megatrends' – such as technology and AI, urbanization, demographic and social change, climate change and resource scarcity, or global growth markets – have on Western democracies.
How do different systemic and societal structures in Germany and the U.S. affect these developments? She is currently a Fellow at the Thomas Mann House Los Angeles, a residency center and space for transatlantic debate in former exile-home of the German Nobel-laureate Thomas Mann.
During her residency in Los Angeles, she explores the consequences of these megatrends for democracy from a transatlantic perspective: How can democratic systems shape these consequences? How can we overthink traditional political approaches and implement political systems that not only administer, but lead the way into a visionary future?
