IEP Colloquia 2026 proposes an in-depth reflection on the challenges facing contemporary democracies in a context of geopolitical instability, growing conflict and declining trust in institutions. Beyond isolated or episodic crises, the conference examines political restlessness as a structural condition that simultaneously affects domestic politics and the international order.
