Abstract

This is the annual edited volume in the Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution publication series, which addresses urgent issues surrounding the current crisis of democracy and the potential consequences and possibilities for civic protest and civic resistance. This latest volume has two novelties: for the first time, it is published in English, and it is edited by the ASPR in cooperation with the partner institutions of the recently formed Conflict Peace and Democracy Cluster - the Center for Peace Research and Peace Education at the Alps-Adriatic University of Klagenfurt/Celovec, the Institute of Conflict Research Vienna, and the Democracy Center Vienna.
