EIN NEUES DEMOKRATIEMODELL FÜR DAS 21 JAHRHUNDE...

With the Thyssen Lectures the Fritz Thyssen Foundation is continuing a tradition that is
initiated beginning in Germany in 1979 and followed by venues at a series of universitites in
the Czech Republic  Israel  the Russian Republic and  most recently  in Turkey. The series in
Greece is being organised for a period of four years under the leadership of Prof. Vassilios
Skouris  former President of the European Court of Justice and current Director of the Centre
of International and European Economic Law (CIELL)  and is dedicated to the framework topic of
the EU as a community of European law and values. A NEW MODEL OF DEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST
CENTURY? Although the principle of democracy serves - at least de iure - as the foundation for
the exercise of state power throughout the world  the threats being posed to democratic
governance are apparent. This is not only the case with regard to the growing concentration of
power in systems that are already chracterised as authorian like Russia  China and Turkey. But
even consolidated democracies see themselves confronted with major challenges  however. The
internationalisation of decision-making  for example  while originally perceived as progress 
is running up against mounting criticism as undemocratic  while reservations exist when it
comes to basing decision-making purely on expert knowledge  nor is it easy to counter populist
tendencies. All this raises the question as to what extent new principles need to be elaborated
for democratic governance in the 21st century.
