Workshop and Talk with Dr. Vincent Harting

24th July 2025 

Contemporary democracies are characterized by multiple forms of inequality and power asymmetries. Because many of them are related to concentrated wealth, scholars speak of oligarchic tendencies in democratic societies. To counter such tendencies, democracies might need new institutions in the economic and the political realm.
During this event at HfP/TUM, political theorist Vincent Harting of London School of Economics and Political Science will present new work on the different forms that anti-oligarchic institutions could take.

The event has two parts, a workshop and a talk - please feel free to join either or both parts.

14:00 - 16:00  Manuscript Workshop

Vincent Harting will present a work-in-progress entitled “Egalitarian Corporatism and the Problem of Oligarchy”. The article will be pre-circulated. Participants are expected to read it in advance.

16:00 - 17:00  Coffee Break

17:00 - 18:00  Talk “On the Meaning and Value of Class-Specific Political Institutions”

Vincent Harting will share his research on the idea of creating institutions with the specific goal of strengthening the voices of citizens from lower socioeconomic backgrounds in the political process.

Place: Munich School of Politics and Public Policy (Hochschule für Politik München), Richard-Wagner-Str. 1, 80333 Munich
