In a democracy, numbers matter. When numbers change, power changes hands. The democratic narrative insists that power changes hands primarily because voters change their minds. But it could also be because a sizable group of new voters joins the polity and reshapes it. My lecture considers how fears of demographic decline and of immigrants and their possible electoral choices can turn European societies against democracy.

Developing a Dynamic Downtown Series

If it’s been more than a year since you last visited the Franklinton section of Columbus, just west of downtown, you’re in for a shock. Longtime vacant lots and boarded-up houses are gone, replaced seemingly overnight by trendy new apartment buildings that look like they’ve been plucked from a hip neighborhood in Copenhagen.
