Sascha Lobo: Democracy can no longer be content with being “ready to defend” She has to deal with her many enemies much more aggressively. Lobo says a new, defensive democracy, which I would like to tentatively call "stubborn democracy" The new defensiveness of democracy in the 21st century includes the recognition that - unfortunately - there is a constant, global information war that one definitely cannot afford to lose, says Lobo.
The necessary sovereignty of a stubborn democracy can only be achieved if one helps to shape the internationally effective narratives, he says.
