Administrategy

“Liberal democracy can be protected from populism — using a strategy that’s already proved successful against a powerful ideological threat,” writes Prof. Maciej Kisilowski, co-author of "Administrategy", with Prof. Anna Wojciuk in today's POLITICO Europe. „After World War II, Western democracies squared off against communism with the strategy of containment. There’s no reason they can’t do the same again with right-wing nationalism.”

Europe’s populists can’t be defeated — but they can be contained It worked against communism. There’s no reason it can’t work with right-wing nationalism.

Last week started with a fascinating discussion at Kiev-Mohyla Business School, where we launch the Ukrainian version of “Administrategy,” published by Osnovy Publishing. Mr. Dmytro Shymkiv, the deputy head of the administration of the President of Ukraine, honored us with his presence and thoughtful comments. But we were not just exchanging pleasantries. More than 2 hours passed with tough questions about the everyday reality and possible paths for the future of Ukraine’s public management. Thank you all! #Адміністратегія
