Donald Trump's victory in the US elections marked a completely new paradigm, not only in the understanding of geopolitical relations, but also in the relationship of the US to globalization and democracy. Is this a new, inverted, 1989? Namely, it was after that year, according to the research of the German theorist of democracy Philip Manow, that the term democracy was suddenly and very visibly replaced by the term liberal-democracy in scientific discourse after Fukuyama's book The End of History and the Last Man. Why did this happen? Didn't the triumph of neoliberalism and the woke ideology that accompanied it lead to a counter-reaction and strengthen the resistance of the new conservative right. Why did this happen? Didn't the dominance of the middle-of-the-road parties leave the voters of the classical right and left without their political homeland? Isn't this the reason for the emergence of populist parties on the right and left that question the rule of the "extreme center" (Tarik Alli). In the seminar we start from the thesis that today neoliberal democracy is being replaced by democracy as such, without its neoliberal woke elements. In this type of democracy, at its core is a strong protest against the existing elites. It is a conflict between the "global class" (Ralf Dahrendorf) and the people?
