INPRIS at the “Rolling Back The Rollback” Forum in Budapest

7 April 2014. The School of Public Policy in Budapest organizes “Rolling Back The Rollback” forum. Based on a prior analysis of anti-democratic trends in Europe, the “Rolling Back The Rollback” forum will examine possible responses to the rollback of democracy and open societies. The participants will try to answer questions how some of the anti-democratic processes can be reversed, and how further erosion of the foundations of open societies can be prevented.

Natalia Mileszyk will be one of the panelists in working group “Legal Institutions”. With a special focus on the balance between majority rule and minority rights, the group will critically assess the potential and limitations of legal and judiciary institutions. What are the avenues that exist for fostering independent legal institutions against the rollback of democracy? What are possible strategies for bridging the gap between legal institutions and their application in practice? These are some of questions to be addressed during the panel.
