Dr. Georg Menz’s talk will be based on his new edited volume “The Resistible Corrosion of Europe’s Centre Left After 2008”. The book examines and explains the Center-Left’s political decline since 2008, whilst analyzing the factors that account for its sagging electoral and popular support, losing voters both to the Far Left, the Far Right, and abstentions.
