A monthly lecture series where researchers share knowledge about the subject they know best. This edition is led by Jørgen Møller, professor of political science at Aarhus University, who looks at Europe through its crises and turning points.
The talk traces how major crises, from the Bronze Age collapse and the fall of the Roman Empire to the plague, religious wars and the two World Wars, paved the way for the European state system, strong territorial states and stable democracies. The lecture has been updated to address current European crises, giving useful background on the present day.
Afterwards there is time for questions and debate. Ticket includes a copy of the day's Tænkepause and coffee during the break.
