"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"--

"This volume is the first authoritative reference work solely dedicated to the various components of illiberalism. Illiberalism is most often discussed in political and constitutional terms, yet illiberalism is rooted in society and cannot be limited to only political or legal treatment. Illiberal trends are present all over the world and are not fixed to one era. This Handbook comprises over sixty individual chapters, each dedicated to different aspects of the same phenomenon, presented through the lens of different disciplines and authored by an internationally recognized expert in the field. It charts all representative countries and regions where illiberalism is present and deals with the most important historical antecedents. The Routledge Handbook of Iliberalism will form an important component of any library's holding and will be of benefit as an academic reference, as well as being of practical value to anyone who wishes to gain a clear understanding of the concepts required to explain this conundrum"--

While liberal democracy is deeply rooted and stable in the developed Europe, Russia, the new fragile state became hotbed of illiberalism by the 2000's., but other post-Communist countries have stepped on divergent paths"--
