Conference Report - Demokratie 50 years after Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe (May 3-5 2023)
This was a slightly unusual conference in that was directed to the detailed exploration of the Geschichtlicher Grundbegriffe (henceforth GG) entry on Demokratie written 50 years ago, which has had a profound influence, not only on German historiography. But also on the way in which political ideas are discussed in, especially, Central and Northern Europe.
The conference circulated both an epitome of the GG entry, and a detailed agenda for discussion. The six key speakers (German speaking experts from the region) whose travel we supported were given the task of responding to the different topics on the agenda in turn, and then, in each session, the floor was opened to others attending. These included a number of senior people in the field from Oxford, Cambridge , Sussex, Nottingham, York, etc.
