Radha D’Souza presented at the Shadow Munich Security Conference: The truth emerges from the shadow 

15-16 of February 2020 | Munich, Germany

Radha D’Souza presented at the Shadow Munich Security Conference: The truth emerges from the shadow. Every year in February, Munich transforms into a stage for world politics during the Munich Security Conference (MSC). A stage is given to political leaders to share their visions on security, safety and global order, 800 meters away from the Münchner Kammerspiele. The MSC, a supposedly “neutral” platform, is a forum for debate for some of the most powerful people in the world. Over 4,000 police officers, hundreds of police cars and countless barriers dominate public space for a few days in order for this to happen. Deals are made behind closed doors and hardly any space for public debate or exchange is accommodated. This spectacle of power demands a counter-proposal.
