Democracy and rise of ‘autocratic legalism’
The UCD Sutherland School of Law John M Kelly lecture will take place on 3 April this year at 6.30pm.
Professor Kim Lane Scheppele of Princeton University will deliver a lecture on 'Democracy in Danger: The Global Challenge of Autocratic Legalism'.
Transnational law
Professor Scheppele's work focuses on the intersection of constitutional and transnational law, particularly in constitutional systems under stress.
She has been documenting the rise of autocratic legalism since 2010, first in Hungary and then in Poland within the European Union, as well as its spread around the world.
Prof Scheppele's book Destroying (and Restoring) Democracy by Law will be published shortly by Harvard University Press.
