This course aims to untangle the following problematic knots: which actors, at the domestic, European and international levels have contributed, directly or indirectly, to the rise of illiberal democracies? What are the basic tenets of constitutional democracies and when do they become democracies disfigured? And with which legitimacy do they contribute to defining parliamentary elections?

Program Insights
The timing of the summer program is tailored to intercept the debate emerging at the European level, following the appointment of the new Commission, in order to analyze the EU agenda for problems related to the rule of law, and to critically examine the impact of the many national elections held in late 2019 – early 2020 on parliamentary democracy in the broader European context.
Parliamentary Democracy in Europe is organized by the Luiss School of Government in cooperation with Horizon 2020 Project RECONNECT and with the Luiss Center for Parliamentary Studies, the SciencesPo Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, and Université Libre de Bruxelles.
