    🚨🚨🚨 Couldn't be more excited to join as a Contributing Editor. I'll be joining some of the writers I most admire at a magazine that is, every day and every month, creating a vibrant space for debate among people who understand the huge stakes of this moment.

    What will it take to save the ? Nationalism is back and it is "time for new ideas" in response, writes GMF's :

  3. Prediction: If their favorite candidate wins tonight, all the people who have spent months complaining that Iowa is holding the first Democratic primary will suddenly think that's perfectly fine (and vice versa).

  4. This is kind of amazing. Germany's largest news site leads with Donald Trump's preposterous claim that he has beaten the corona virus. American media are so inured to his bulls**t that few of them even covered his latest absurdity.

  5. Some of the most wonderful friends I've made and some of the most talented students I've taught since coming to America have roots in Sudan, Nigeria, Eritrea, and Tanzania. The extension of the travel ban to these countries is as stupid as it is inhumane.

  6. Why are we so polarized? Is polarization a real problem? And can we understand what's going on in the United States without looking at similar developments abroad? Check out my conversation with about his new book on The Good fight.

  7. I love Europe. But *especially* those who love Europe now need to take a hard look in the mirror. Let's figure out how to make this project—which has done so much for the continent—inspire again. Please read and share the full article ! [End]

  8. Europeans owe a huge debt of gratitude to the courage and imagination of the EU's founders. But today's politicians take the wrong lessons from their predecessors. Instead of emulating their imagination, they treat EU institutions as holy relics. This immobilism is dangerous.

  9. For the EU to succeed, it needs to make two big changes: 1) Make EU institutions more democratic and return some powers to nation states where appropriate. 2) Adopt realistic mechanisms for suspend subsidies and voting rights for member states that veer away from democracy.

  10. 2) The rise of populist strongmen Many German citizens are happy to share their sovereignty with French citizens to facilitate trade and solve big problems. But why should German citizens be willing to share their sovereignty with aspiring dictators in Warsaw or Budapest?

  11. 1) Citizens feel they have little control over what goes on in Berlin or Paris. They feel that they have virtually no control over what goes on in Brussels. Why? Because the path from citizen to decision-maker is as indirect in the EU as it was in some 19th century monarchies.

  12. The EU can thrive without Britain. It cannot thrive without the trust and affection of its own citizens. Brexit thus isn't an existential threat to the EU. The double crisis of democratic legitimacy that makes citizens skeptical of the EU is. This crisis has two elements.

  13. I grew up in Germany and studied in England. Brexit is, simply, gutting. But Europeans who want to make their project work now need to look in the mirror. The reality of the EU has drifted far from the values on which was built. Let's fix that. [Thread]

    Support for democracy is getting worse across the world and in the United States. The data is not good. This problem is bigger than Donald Trump. Via ⁦⁩ and Roberto Foa.

  16. There's something touchingly naive about the people who cheer on every witch hunt without ever stopping to contemplate the possibility that they might turn out to be the next witch.

    Third, in the eyes of its citizens America really was exceptional once upon a time: satisfaction with democracy was very high. Since 2008, dissatisfaction with democracy has grown very quickly. Now, for the first time, most Americans are dissatisfied with their political system.

  18. Please be sure to read our whole article at The Atlantic. And if you want to learn more about this topic, read the excellent report Roberto and his colleagues at Cambridge University's Center for the Future of Democracy have just published. [End.]

  20. Second, satisfaction with democracy declined especially sharply among those affluent and longstanding democracies that were supposed to be especially safe. 2 out of 3 citizens of developed democracies were once satisfied with their democratic system. Today, it's less than half.

  21. In our preview of the report for , we show three main findings. First, satisfaction for democracy has notably declined if you look democracies in general. For the first time in the time series, it is markedly above 50%.
