New Directions in the American Polity

MCC Debrecen Piac u. 11-15., Debrecdne, Hungary

On the 5th of May, MCC Debrecen Educational Center will present a lecture in English titled “New Directions in the American Polity”. Description: Trump’s return and the rise of post-liberal political trends could fundamentally reshape the US polity. Will the traditional political order finally collapse and a new era begin? What will be the impact on the economy, on immigration, on social issues - and what role will actors like USAID and Elon Musk,who is shaping the global tech world and public discourse, play in this process? Post-liberalism is not just a theory, but is increasingly shaping political reality. But where does it come from and what future does it have?  The lecture will answer these questions, while also looking at US developments in the light of Hungarian political changes. Information about the event: The lecturer at the event is Daniel Whitehead, Fellow of the Budapest Fellowship Program. The presentation will be in English.
