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

Overig

Trump radically transforms America with its MAGA movement and rewrites the democratic rules. And helpers like JD Vance are happy to see the same thing happening with us in Europe. Here right-wing-radical politicians-from Wilders to Orban-are now aloud of unhindered power. Now that Democracy is crumbling worldwide and strong leaders such as Netanyahu and Putin put the world to their hands, ghosts loom up from the past.

On the basis of original cross -connections and sharp analyzes, Beatrice takes you along the tilting points of democracy. From the dark 1930s to the early 19th century, Beatrice teaches you through the past looking differently at the now. Chaos in the Western world is a history lesson for anyone who wants to know how to protect democracy in our own time.
