Leftist Illiberalisms: European and Latin American Perspectives

Illiberalism is often associated with the far right of the political spectrum. While this may hold true in certain regions and historical contexts, such an association is conceptually limiting and misleading from a global perspective.
 
This roundtable explores contemporary expressions of left-wing illiberalism, with a particular focus on Latin American politics and progressive projects in Europe. Participants will also engage with broader issues, such as potential tension between social justice and individual liberty, and the post–Cold War left’s success with formulating a democratic agenda.

The discussion takes place in the framework of the AUTHLIB – Neo-authoritarianisms in Europe and the Liberal Democratic Response project funded by the European Union and UK Research and Innovation.
