About the Lecture:

The rise of extreme nationalism is one of the greatest challenges facing democracies today. But while most defenders of liberal democracy want to drive nationalism off the political playing field, some argue that democracies need to embrace national values and strengthen national identities if they want to survive. Are they right? What are the risks of relying on nationalism to heal our damaged democracies?
