Join Us for a Kluge Center Author Salon with Ivan Krastev on The Light That Failed: Why the West Is Losing the Fight for Democracy.

On Wednesday, February 19, at 4pm in room LJ-119 of the Thomas Jefferson Building, former Kissinger Chair in Foreign Policy and International Relations Ivan Krastev will speak about his new book on Europe’s past, present, and future.

In this insightful work of political history (shortlisted for the prestigious Lionel Gelber Prize), Krastev and co-author Stephen Holmes argue that the supposed end of Communism turned out to be only the beginning of the age of the autocrat. Reckoning with the history of the last thirty years, they show that the most powerful force behind the wave of populist xenophobia that began in Eastern Europe stems from resentment at the post-1989 imperative to become Westernized.

A reception will follow the discussion.
