The conclusion of our discussions last year on the theme “Europe tomorrow: Rearming Democracy” left us with an observation and a reflection that appears essential to explore: the drastic weakening of the concept of citizenship. The citizen seems to be disappearing from the picture, sometimes deliberately “deconstructed”, in many ways overshadowed by an identitarism, a consumerism and an individualism that favour the unravelling of national identity and a society of rights without responsibilities. While internal and external challenges and threats are getting more and more pressing, and as our political leaders seem too often taken hostage of their hesitations and short-term approaches, this eclipse of the citizen is dangerous. For our new edition, we have therefore chosen to analyse the reasons of this disappearance and the conditions for resuscitating the concept of citizenship, that could be pave the way for the necessary fight and adaptation the Western world will have to face.
The 6th edition of the Tocqueville Conversations will be held on July 5 and 6 at the Château de Tocqueville. And you can register by filling up this form.

Give life to Alexis de Tocqueville intellectual legacy and empower civil society so that it can contribute to solving the vital problems facing our democracies today.
