Democratic Decay Resource (DEM-DEC): Second Monthly Bibliography Update – September 2018
2018
The DEM-DEC Bibliography is provided on the Democratic Decay Resource (DEM-DEC) at www.democratic-decay.org, which was launched on 25 June 2018 by Dr Tom Gerald Daly (Melbourne Law School) and is supported by a range of partners, including Verfassungsblog (see the list of partners here). DEM-DEC aims to provide useful information to academics and policymakers concerned with the creeping deterioration of democratic rule worldwide. The main Bibliography (finalised on 24 June 2018) presents a global range of research on democratic decay. It has a strong focus on research by public lawyers-spanning constitutional, international and transnational law-but also includes key research from political science, as well as policy texts. Updates to the Bibliography will be issued on the first Monday of each month, based on new publications and suggestions from users of DEM-DEC. All updates should be read in conjunction with the main bibliography on DEM-DEC. Second monthly update since DEM-DEC was launched This second monthly update provided was issued on 3 September 2018 and is now available on DEM-DEC.

International Seminar Democracy FINAL VERSION
Collected Abstracts International Conference Democracy and Constitutionalism, 2024
This seminar is of utmost importance as it addresses the pressing issues confronting constitutional democracy and The Rule of Law globally. Recent research has highlighted the growing threats to democracy posed by the ascent of authoritarianism, the deterioration of democratic standards and organizations, and escalating political fragmentation. The emergence of new forms of political disruption facilitated by technology and social media simultaneously challenges constitutional frameworks. The FDV Research Group on Legal Hermeneutics and Constitutional Jurisdiction will convene leading international authorities to analyze the intricate interconnections between democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law during this period of political turmoil. Additionally, the seminar will explore the ramifications of sustainability and development for constitutional democracy.
Contemplating the Future in the Era of Democratic Decay
In the present era of democratic decay – the incremental degradation of the structures and substance of liberal constitutional democracy worldwide – what are the possible futures we can envisage, and why does this matter for public law?
'Time to View Democratic Decay as a Unified Research Field?'
This blog posts presents a brief overview of new literature across a variety of disciplines and research fields, concerning the phenomenon of democratic decay, which can be defined as the incremental degradation of the structures and substance of liberal democracy. The post argues that it is time to view these disparate enquiries as a more coherent literature, in order to more effectively push forward our understanding of democratic decay and how public law can be used to counter this phenomenon.

Decay in the democratic systems of states worldwide, such as Hungary, Poland, Venezuela, South Africa, and the US, has gathered pace in the past decade, forming a subset of what Larry Diamond calls a global 'democratic recession'. After briefly sketching the decline of democracy worldwide, this paper considers the challenge of diagnosing and framing democratic decay as a phenomenon in three parts. The first part examines existing concepts and rubrics used in relation to this phenomenon, with a central focus on Aziz Huq and Tom Ginsburg's concept of 'constitutional retrogression'. The second part compares the constitutional retrogression framework and the author's democratic decay framework. Third, the democratic decay framework is applied to four separate country case-studies: Venezuela, Poland, South Africa, and Brazil. This demonstrates the framework's ability to capture common dynamics and patterns from state to state, while also accommodating divergences and local factors. On the basis of close analysis of the four country case-studies, it is argued that existing frameworks do not fully capture the variety and complexity of dynamics of democratic decay in different states, and that greater attention must be paid to what democratic states can be compared.
