Amsterdam : CEDLA6 de mayo de 2019 20h00-21h30Punitive Democratization: protecting democracy through sanctionsWe are currently at a critical juncture. While illiberal political movements and autocratic leadership are on the rise, liberal democracy is under threat in all regions of the world.

Can regional organizations really be guardians of regional democratic norms? Venezuela, Hungary, and Egypt are only among the most recent cases of countries that have faced some form of sanction by regional organizations for breaching liberal democracy in their domestic affairs.
