But Dr. Landfried warns that a complete loss of trust in democratic processes lead people to disconnect from politics entirely. In this episode, the professor of political science talks about how citizens\u2019 assemblies, a new form of participation, strengthen democracy and rebuild trust in its institutions. Landfried has observed citizens\u2019 assemblies and prominently reported about them in a variety of German-speaking media outlets. Christine Landfried is currently a Thomas Mann House fellow in Los Angeles.
