Marcel Dirsus: 'How Tyrants Fail'

Join us for the second event of Dialogues on Democratic Resilience, a talk series organised in collaboration with the Centre for Public Law of the University of Cambridge.

On 20 November from 5-6.30pm (UK time), Dr Marcel Dirsus will present on 'How Tyrants Fail'.

About the speaker: Marcel Dirsus is a political scientist and the author of How Tyrants Fall: And How Nations Survive. He writes The Hundred, a politics newsletter. In addition to being a Non-Resident Fellow at the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK) in Germany, he is a member of the Standing Expert Committee Terrorism and Interior Security at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. Dirsus mainly works on regime instability, political violence and German foreign policy. He has advised democratic governments, foundations, multinational corporations and international organisations like NATO and the OECD.

About the Dialogues: The Dialogues on Democratic Resilience series provides a platform for scholars, students, and members of the general public to examine the causes and dynamics of democratic decline and to explore strategies for strengthening democratic institutions. Interdisciplinary in scope, the series places particular emphasis on the role of law and legal institutions, investigating how they can both contribute to democratic erosion and function as vital safeguards against it.
