Authoritarian populism poses major challenges to democracy. Yet, relatively little systematic political-theoretical or philosophical analysis has focused on how best to resist it. When does it make sense for opponents to pursue normal, legal political tactics rather than extreme, potentially illegal actions? If the latter is necessary, should it be nonviolent civil disobedience or something more disruptive or even militant? Join William Scheuerman to discuss the possible responses to authoritarian populism and its use of increasingly commonplace modes of “smart” repression.
This event is organized by the Questions of Fascism and Democracy Lecture Series led by CES Resident Faculties Peter E. Gordon and CES Director Daniel Ziblatt. It is also co-sponsored by the Democracy and Its Critics Initiative at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES).
