Beyond Liberalism - Reclaiming Politics for the National Interest

From political upheavals to cultural fragmentation, the West finds itself facing a moment of deep uncertainty. Long-standing assumptions about democracy, national identity, and the role of tradition are being questioned by citizens across Europe and North America. In the face of mounting global pressures and internal divisions, can Western nations renew their confidence—and on what foundations? In our opening panel, leading thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic will examine the growing gap between political elites and national communities, the decline of civilizational self-belief, and the path forward for nations determined to preserve their culture, sovereignty, and values. What role should faith, education, and tradition play in shaping the future? Can a new political and cultural consensus emerge from today’s disorder? Join us for a timely and unapologetic conversation about what is worth defending—and how it might still be saved.
