![What's About the New American Right -- plus an Oktoberfest worthy networking reception](https://www.yaleclub.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/image001.jpg)
Returning to Munich Dialogues on Democracy, Jan-Werner Mueller is one of the world’s pre-eminent public intellectuals on all aspects of democracy. In recent articles he has weighed in on how today’s autocrats control public opinion, how the student encampments have the potential to strengthen US democracy, the importance of civil protest, and the failure of political parties in Western democracies to provide consistent programs and to restrain a leader when necessary.
Registration is now open for our evening on October 2nd, the day after the US vice-presidential candidates Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz face off, to discuss the state of our politics and the problems with our political parties, both in Europe and in the run-up to the US elections on November 5th. We’ll unpack the debate as well as the workable strategies that Prof. Mueller proposes. And plan on staying after the talk to enjoy a complimentary Oktoberfest reception!
If you cannot be with us in Munich, this talk will be live-streamed and stay online on the Amerikahaus YouTube channel.
