Beatrice de Graaf - Chaos in de Westerse wereld - Haagsch College

Overig

Trump is radically transforming America with his MAGA movement and rewriting the democratic rules of the game. And helpers like JD Vance would like to see the same thing happen here in Europe. Here, right-wing radical politicians - from Wilders to Orban - are now dreaming aloud of unhindered power. Now that democracy is crumbling worldwide and strong leaders like Netanyahu and Putin are bending the world to their will, ghosts from the past are emerging.

Based on original connections and sharp analyses, Beatrice takes you along the turning points of democracy. From the dark 1930s to the early 19th century, Beatrice teaches you to look at the present differently through the past. Chaos in the Western worldis a history lesson for anyone who wants to know how we can protect democracy in our own time.
