Discussion sessions - Hoofdinhoud

As a follow-up of the so-called Parliamentary Self-reflection that the Dutch Parliament organised in 2009, the Montesquieu Institute annually hosted a serie of debates in cooperation with the Dutch newspaper Trouw, in the period 2010-2014.

The structure of the sessions was as follows: a scholar provided an introduction on the day as well as a piece in Trouw previous to the session. A person in a political profession commented on the introduction and afterwards there was plenty of room for discussion. The discussions were moderated by Hans Goslinga from the Trouw-newspaper.
