For local audiences, join us for a live seminar at the House of Literature (Litteraturhuset) in Oslo 16. november. Sign up for free at https://www.litteraturhuset.no/nb/arrangement/demokratiet-i-krise For global audiences, here is a summary of the current democratic crisis we are living through and all its many aspects. I also discuss why democracy is worth fighting for and what we can do to meet the current crisis. Why is democracy under attack from within as well as from authoritarian dictatorships in other countries? What has happened to the electorate in democracies that leads many of them to elect authoritarians?
