Brexit, Trump und Populismus - Jüngste weltpolitische Ereignisse und Entwicklungen auf drei Stichworte verkürzt, diskutierte Ex-Außenminister Joschka Fischer mit Politikwissenschaftlern: den EU-Austritt Großbritanniens, die Präsidentschaft Donald Trumps und den wachsenden Zulauf zu isolationistischen und nationalistischen Retro-Parteien in Europa. Kündigt sich hier eine Zeitenwende an? Das häufig fallende Urteil darüber - Populismus! - warnt vor Gefährdungen der rechtsstaatlichen Demokratie. Ist aber die Berufung auf das Volk anti-demokratisch? Zwar möchte niemand Populist genannt werden, doch kein Politiker, keine Politikerin, verzichtet auf das Bekenntnis, das Volk oder die Menschen in unserem Land seien der wichtigste Antrieb für ihr Handeln. Bietet die Demokratie also auch Raum für Populismus?
Brexit, Trump and populism - recent world political events and developments summarised in three keywords and discussed by the former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer and scholars of political studies: the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the presidency of Donald Trump and the increasing success of isolationist and nationalist retro parties in Europe. Is this the beginning of a new era? A word often connected to this development is populism! It warns against the dangers against democracy. However, is any reference to the people anti-democratic? On the one hand nobody wants to be called a populist but on the other hand no politician can refrain from stating that the people or the citizens in our country are the driving force for their actions. Thus, does democracy offer room for populism?
