At the "Falling Walls Science Summit" in Berlin (November 7-9, 2024), Prof. Jens Martin Gurr participated in a panel on "Regulating Conflicts in Institutions: Migration, Climate Change, Identity Politics ...". Moderated by BMZ communication expert Sabine Lehmann, the panel included Prof. Patrick Cramer (President of Max Planck Society), Dr. Simone Schwanitz (Secretary General of Max Planck Society) and Prof. Metin Sitti (President of Koç University, Istanbul). The panel discussed ways in which institutions can handle the key present-day conflicts arising in present-day plural societies in ways compatible with democracy and so as to safeguard the continued functioning of these institutions. Prof. Gurr, who had been asked to provide the opening input, here introduced key concepts from the two collaborative projects "Cultures of Compromise" and "Agonistic Plurality".
