US-Präsident Trump und die amerikanische Demokratie

In the organizer's words:

Is Donald Trump endangering the basic democratic order of the USA? Since its inception, the United States Constitution has been based on a system of checks and balances. This principle should ensure that no state institution gains excessive power. In his second term, President Donald Trump appears to be eager and able to shift this balance of power in favor of the executive branch - at the expense of Congress and the judiciary. This development raises fundamental questions about the state of American democracy. The lecture will shed light on how this shift has come about, what structural and political factors are favoring it, and what effects this could have on the international order and the global community. An evening that explains the background, shows the connections and encourages discussion about the state and future of democratic systems.
