What are the results of the thirty years of democratization of the post-Soviet countries, in particular of Georgia and Ukraine? Why did neoliberal democracy replace social democracy? How is democracy possible in a divided society? How can we define democracy?

These and other questions were discussed during the second part of the seminar Challenges to Democracy in a Time of Great Changes that was held on May 31, 2021. We publish a video of it.
