2nd Ars Iuris Legal Potentials Conference

30.09.2024

In 2024, more than half of the world's population will live in countries where nationwide elections are held. Lines of social conflict are revealed with particular clarity as a result.

The public narrative paints a picture of an irreconcilable and divided society in which communication between the increasingly fragmented sub-publics comes to a standstill and some groups abandon the common democratic system altogether. Against this backdrop, the question of the relationship between law and politics in a conflict-ridden world arises: To what extent does the legal system depend on social consensus? Is the law itself a driving factor of social polarization? Can the law mediate and counteract polarizing tendencies? Join us as we explore these critical questions at the 2nd Ars Iuris Legal Potentials Conference.
