    Michael Hanchard on inequality in democracy

    The majority of pundits and specialists on democratic erosion often ignore an uncomfortable fact: some clues to democracy’s demise can be glimpsed in its beginnings, in the unequal circumstances certain people inhabit within democratic polities, or in adjacent contexts. Social class, caste, enslavement, patriarchy, ethnic chauvinism, xenophobia and racism are all factors that help determine who benefits the most from the workings of democracy, and for whom voting can often be a hollow act. Thus, Trumpism, Modi, Meloni, and the Alternative for Germany are not the sources of the current democratic crisis, but rather symptomatic of a more fundamental desire present in both democratic and non-democratic polities: the attraction to a form of human homogeneity that Hanchard terms racial rule. https://www.hertie-school.org/en/events/event-detail/event/if-the-state-wont-protect-me-who-will This is a public episode.

    Oona Hathaway on international law in the 21st century

    Oona Hathaway, Professor of International Law at Yale Law School and President-Elect of the American Society for International Law, outlines the evolution of international law on war from past to present, stressing that the postwar legal framework designed to prevent interstate aggression is now under threat as powerful states like Russia, China, and the United States are violating or threatening to violate other states’ sovereignty for their own benefit. However, she argued that this international legal crisis also presents an opportunity to rethink the global order, considering that not all states have participated equally in the system and that stronger nations have previously disregarded legal conventions. “We need fresh and creative ideas for strengthening, reinforcing, and reforming the international legal order. This is where you come in,” she said, addressing the students in the audience. https://www.hertie-school.org/en/news/allcontent/detail/content/hertie-school-opens-academic-year-with-largest-ever-student-cohort This is a public episode.

    “You’re never too young to lead, and you’re never too old to learn” In his widely applauded speech, this year’s commencement speaker, former President of Mongolia Elbegdorj Tsakhia, shared his wisdom and experience from more than 20 years of public service experience, which includes serving as Mongolia’s Prime Minister and President. Reflecting on his own country’s path to democracy, President Elbegdorj reminded students of one simple truth: “You’re never too young to lead, and you’re never too old to learn.” He also shared with the graduating public policy students his view of public service: “Public service isn’t about power – it’s about people. When the people succeed, you succeed.” https://www.hertie-school.org/en/news/allcontent/detail/content/hertie-school-celebrates-the-class-of-2025-at-the-philharmonie-in-berlin This is a public episode.

    Claudia Buch and Verena Ross on the role of banks and capital markets in financing Europe's future

    Claudia Buch, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB)Verena Ross, Chair of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) Europe holds vast reserves of private savings—yet these resources are not being fully channelled toward the continent’s most pressing investment needs. Addressing this mismatch lies at the core of proposals for a Savings and Investments Union, as powerfully outlined in recent reports by Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi. To unlock this potential, Europe must strengthen its bank-based financing model while building deeper, more integrated capital markets. This dual approach is critical to financing the green and digital transitions, boosting competitiveness, and expanding defence and security capabilities. The urgency is rising—and so is political alignment across the EU, including from the new German government, which has signalled its intention to play a stronger leadership role. https://www.hertie-school.org/en/events/event-detail/event/matching-savings-and-investments This is a public episode.
