Patriotism, Cosmopolitanism and Democracy

IEP and Estoril Political Forum in Forbes

The 26th annual edition of the Estoril Political Forum, on 25-27 June 2018, focused on the relationship between the national sentiment and cosmopolitan views — a crucial question that has recently returned to the centre of political and academic debates. Refusing the unfortunate dichotomy between nationalism and internationalism, we have encouraged a civilised conversation between different views on patriotism and cosmopolitanism, as well as on the the contribution of both to modern democracies.

Defending the Western Tradition of Liberty Under Law

In 2017, the Estoril Political Forum, which evolved from the International Meeting in Political Studies launched in the Arrábida Convent in 1993, will celebrate its 25th anniversary. This year will also mark the 20th anniversary of the Catholic University's Institute for Political Studies, whose founding in 1996/97 was inspired by the Arrábida meetings.

The title of this year's meeting, “Defending the Western Tradition of Liberty Under Law” expresses the commitment that has animated both the Forum and the Institute since their inception. As always, the meeting will bring together a broad range of political perspectives. It will seek to address new challenges while recalling the old lessons bequeathed to us by the "Western Tradition of Liberty Under Law.”

Democracy and its Enemies: New Threats, New Possibilities
In association with the International Forum for Democratic Studies, Washington, DC

The title of this year's meeting is reminiscent of the famous book by Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies, published in 1945. The book was an energetic defense of liberal democracy and Western civilization against its totalitarian enemies, both from the revolutionary left and the revolutionary right, communism and national-socialism.

This edition is inspired by the same commitment to liberal democracy and the West that inspired Popper's book more than 70 years ago. We will discuss and analyse the resurgence of authoritarianism around the world, following a persistent alert that is being issued by one of the main partners of the conference, the International Forum for Democratic Studies that publishes the distinguished quarterly Journal of Democracy. We will discuss and analyse how should the West and its multilateral institutions - first of all NATO and the European Union - respond to these new threats. And we will discuss also how these new threats and possibilities present themselves among the English-speaking, the Portuguese-speaking and the Spanish-speaking peoples.
