“Center/Right. The international crisis of conservatism” by Thomas Biebricher will be published on April 17, 2023

In Germany, the last Merkel years were characterized by internal disputes within the CDU/CSU. However, not least the rise of Donald Trump has shown that the identity crisis of the center-right is not an exclusively German phenomenon: In Italy, Berlusconi and radical right-wing parties such as Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia filled the vacuum created by the implosion of the Democrazia Cristiana. In France, the Républicains hardly play a role between Macron and Le Pen. And in the wake of the Brexit chaos, the Tories are sinking into a lack of seriousness and a denial of reality.
Thomas Biebricher takes a look at the “Centre/Right. The International Crisis of Conservatism”, which will be published by Suhrkamp Verlag in mid-April, Thomas Biebricher addresses this international dimension and traces the turbulent developments since 1990. His findings are also explosive because the future of liberal democracy will be decided by moderate conservatism.
