Webinar
The social, economic, and political consequences of the COVID-19 crisis will go far beyond what we have already experienced, as many societies around the world witness a new page turn in state-society relations, as well as the changing role of technology in our lives.
The danger is not only that we may not adapt to a transforming political and social landscape, but that we may also learn the wrong lessons about the role of the state and democratic governance. This talk presents a framework for thinking about these issues and argues for building a new and more expansive welfare state, undergirded not by a more powerful state but more active societal participation in politics.
