The speakers will discuss why the weakening of state institutions may be as pernicious as democratic backsliding and examine the long-term implications for governance, democracy, and the rule of law.
This is part of the two-day workshop at the University of Note Dame titled Hollowing Out the State: Understanding Executive-Led State Erosion, which includes DPIR colleagues Ezequiel Gonzalez Ocantos, David Doyle, and Tim Power. The workshop is co-hosted by Javier Perez Sandoval, Associate Member of DPIR, as part of his British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship.
