The Fragility of Liberal Democracy Faced with Fascism and Climate Politics

CIRSFID – AI - Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna 2024-05-21

This article engages with the particular fragility of liberal democracy in current times. The particularity at stake here concerns the two major challenges that liberal democracy faces today, notably the rising allure of fascism (mostly AF hereafter) and the rise of climate politics (mostly CP hereafter). The article is not concerned with the external threats that fascism and climate politics pose for liberal democratic law. It engages with the way that any endeavour to deal with these threats threatens liberal democracy with the internal self-destruction of its essential ideals and principles.
