Hans-Dietrich Genscher Chair for an International Comparison of Peaceful Revolutions
This will focus on an interdisciplinary debate on the events of the Peaceful Revolution and its role in the context of the revolutions in the Central and East European states in the late 1980s. The aim of this endowed chair is not only to make "peaceful revolutions" a subject of academic study but also to fully appreciate the relevance of the events of autumn 1989.

Knowledge and Order. Contested Orders - Foreign Experiences - Distant Hopes
"Contested orders" means two things here: 1. Order which is increasingly unable to exclude risk; and 2. order which, by attempting to minimise risk, becomes a risk in itself. Part and parcel of this reflection on "contested orders" is the issue of distant hopes and foreign experiences, which reveal new perspectives for state action.
The "Contested Orders - Foreign Experiences - Distant Hopes" events complex includes the Anniversary Lecture series and other public lectures dealing with the issue of risk and opportunity in relation to guarantees of social order. There will also be a series of "Special Lectures" aimed at stimulating academic debate at the national level and within the University itself.
Anniversary Lectures:
March 15, 2009: Martha Nussbaum "Liberty of Conscience: the Attack on Equal Respect"
April 26, 2009: Quentin Skinner "The Genealogy of Liberty"
May 10, 2009: Volker Gerhardt "Politische Öffentlichkeit und individuelles Bewusstsein. Über den Zusammenhang von Politik und Person"
June 14, 2009: Kwame Anthony Appiah "The Life of Honor"
