The MPIfG is holding its 16th Annual Colloquium on December 7 and 8, 2023. Democracies in the early twenty-first century face a multitude of problems: Disruptive digitalization, escalating geopolitical conflicts, unresolved ecological crises, and increasing controversies over migration and cultural identity. How do political and social actors deal with the current challenges, and where does new potential for democratic problem-solving lie? At the event, experts from the fields of research, business, and politics will consider these questions.

What growth strategies do citizens prefer? And what shapes their preferences? Lucio Baccaro, Björn Bremer, and Erik Neimanns address these questions through a new survey of public opinion in Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, which exemplify different models. The MPIfG Discussion Paper series presents results from ongoing research and contributes to current scholarly and public debate.
