Debat 'Is the outward-looking reputation of the Dutch in danger?' - Montesquieu Instituut

datum	6 september 2012 18:30 - 20:30
plaats	Den Haag
locatie	Het Nutshuis
zaal	Commissarissenzaal
organisatie	Campus Den Haag, Montesquieu Instituut (MI)

The historical reputation of the Netherlands as an outward-looking country with an open and welcoming society is increasingly challenged. Surveys from the last years indicate that the Netherlands is 'expat-unfriendly', show a rise in support of anti-immigrant talk, and the pro-European course of political leaders is no longer taken for granted. Observers speak of a turn toward societal introversion. Is Dutch society really losing its outward-looking reputation?

This question is central in a debate organised by the Montesquieu Institute, bringing together conflicting opinions. The debate follows the Oxford-style format, with two teams of invited speakers who represent opposing perspectives, presenting their arguments for or against. Each of the members of the two camps will try to convince the public, and a moderator will involve the audience in the debate to add personal views and experiences.

The debate is in English and is open to anyone interested in the topic, the 'expat community' in particular.
