This session seeks to broaden the geographic and temporal scope of the debate on U.S. democracy. It seeks to examine how authoritarian regimes have adapted, resisted, and transformed fascist legality. It also seeks to elucidate the role of international and transnational law and its legal constructions of the rule of law, diplomacy, and democracy in the rise of authoritarian legal practices.
