Stephen Holmes, Walter E. Meyer Professor of Law at New York University and currently Richard C. Holbrooke Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, will present insights from his book project “Demography, Identity, and Putin’s War” and will show how demographic panic shapes political conflict and violence, migration debates, and the resurgence of identity politics in both domestic and international contexts. He will be joined by Michaela Kreyenfeld, Professor of Sociology at the Hertie School in Berlin, whose research focuses on demographic change, family dynamics, and social inequality, and by WZB President Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln, who has worked on questions of international labor markets and the impact of demographic changes on economic growth.
