Join us for discussion of Giovanni Capoccia's current project Back from the Brink: Countering Illiberalism in Liberal Democracies examining the conditions under which democrats can successfully counter emerging illiberal challenges and democratic backsliding. Capoccia will focus on the temporal dilemmas democrats face when confronting illiberal executives or rising illiberal oppositions, the trade-offs between early action and effective coordination, and the ways in which information and institutional legacies shape the prospects for democratic resilience over time.
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.
