Does the law shield citizens from authoritarian regimes? Are the
core beliefs of classical liberalism—namely the rights of all
individuals and constraints on state power—still protected by
law? Liberalism and its expansion of rights could not exist without
the legal system, and unsurprisingly, many scholars have explored
the relationship between law and liberalism. However, the study of
law and illiberalism is a relatively recent undertaking, a project
that takes on urgency in light of the rise of authoritarian powers,
among them Donald Trump's administration, Viktor Orban's Hungary,
Recep Erdogan's Turkey, and Jair Bolsanoro's Brazil.In this volume,
six penetrating essays explore the dynamics of the law and
illiberal quests for power, examining the anti-liberalism of
neoliberalism; the weaponization of "free speech"; the role of the
administrative state in current crises of liberal democracy; the
broad and unstoppable assault on facts, truth, and reality; and the
rise of conspiracism leading up to the Capitol insurrection. In
addition to the editors, contributors include Sharon Krause,
Elizabeth Anker, Jeremy Kessler, Lee McIntyre, and Nancy Rosenblum.
