What comes after liberal democracy? | Kolja Zydatis

About this episode

Kolja Zydatis explores the future of political systems beyond liberal democracy in a lecture discussing hyper-liberalism and its implications.

What comes after liberal democracy? In this bold, idea-rich lecture, Kolja Zydatis explores the global political topography of our time – a murky, volatile “interregnum” where the old order is collapsing but the new has not yet arrived. Drawing from his and Mark Feldon’s new book, Zydatis offers a panoramic, polemical tour of what he calls hyper-liberalism – a runaway version of liberalism obsessed with borderlessness, identity, and control – and the strange new regimes it has birthed: the Diversity State, the Green Leviathan, and the Biopolitical Machine.
