Dr Aline-Florence Manent was an IAS Junior Research Fellow from 2016-17.
Research Theme: Planetary Futures
Aline-Florence Manent's research explores how intellectuals, policy-makers and state-builders have theorised the challenges of liberal democracy in twentieth century Europe and how their ideas shaped our political institutions. She is working on a book manuscript on the reconceptualisation and reconstruction of democracy in the post-war era in Germany and beyond. This project seeks to advance our understanding of the multifarious ways in which new worlds are imagined and built, despite tremendous geopolitical, ideological and moral constraints.
