Parliaments and the Resilience of Democracies
The Federal Ministry of the Interior is organizing a training course on the resilience of democracy. It brings academics into exchange and discussion with staff of the German Federal administration. Sven T. Siefken discussed the topic of parliaments in crises. Building on definitions of crises and the role of parliaments in the political systems, Siefken presented findings about parliaments in the pandemic situation – and what can be learned from it for future crises and for the normal situation, too.
