  • This seminar will attempt to deconstruct populism in a holistic manner: We will analyze populism from the perspectives of its philosophical foundations, its political strategy through international case studies to ultimately its current-day political communication strategy. Hence, we will mix theory with practice...with a particular focus on the aspect of political storytelling. Because at the end of the seminar, participants will be able to let their creativity go wild and draft a counter-story to the attacks on liberalism that we see all over the world

  • The seminar will give participants a distinctly liberal perspective on the topic of “Smart Cities”—and  therefore exceed traditional conversations about smart cities. Instead, it aims to offer a holistic perspective of economic, political, technological, architectural, environmental, philosophical, and psychological considerations. It will thus explore   conceptually   the   relations   between   decentralized   decision-making,   polycentric   governance   (i.e. institutional  competition),  innovation,  and  progress,  as  well  as  the  opportunities  and  threats  of  Smart  Cities—ranging from privacy and the future of work to climate change and the reduction of a citizen’s carbon footprint
