Liberal democracy is weakened globally, and the means by which liberal rights and constitutional democracy are undermined, are very often legalistic. How should we analytically approach – and politically counter – this undermining of law from the inside? This keynote and roundtable draw lessons from Brazil, India, The US and Europe.
Roundtable participants:
Roberto Gargarella(Professor of Law, Di Tella University, Buenos Aires) Eirik Holmøyvik, (Professor of Law, UiB); Conrado Hubner Mendes (Professor of Law, University of Sao Paulo); Gökhan Sen (Professor of Law & Scholar at Risk CMI)
Moderator: Siri Gloppen (Professor of Political Science, UiB/LawTransform Director)
