First it adresses the connections between democratic decline and rule of law backsliding. Then it adresses some historical perspectives and compare the present situation to autocracies and totalitarian experiences in Europe in the twentieth century. Finally, it discusses different measures taken by autocratic rulers to limit judicial control, how to distinguish such measures from measures of legitimate legal reform, and how to counter such measures. | ||
520 | |a This article analyses why the judiciary is such a main focus of those who attack liberal democracy today, how these attacks are shaped, how to recognise them, and how judges can counter them. First it addresses the connections between democratic decline and rule of law backsliding. Then it addresses some historical perspectives and compare the present situation to autocracies and totalitarian experiences in Europe in the twentieth century. Finally, it discusses different measures taken by autocratic rulers to limit judicial control, how to distinguish such measures from measures of legitimate legal reform, and how to counter such measures. | ||
520 | |a Este artículo analiza por qué el poder judicial es hoy uno de los principales objetivos de quienes atacan la democracia liberal, cómo se configuran estos ataques, cómo reconocerlos y cómo pueden contrarrestarlos los jueces. En primer lugar, aborda las conexiones entre el declive democrático y el retroceso del Estado de derecho. Después aborda algunas perspectivas históricas y compara la situación actual con las autocracias y las experiencias totalitarias en Europa en el siglo XX. Por último, analiza las diferentes medidas adoptadas por los gobernantes autocráticos para limitar el control judicial, cómo distinguir dichas medidas de las medidas de reforma legal legítima y cómo contrarrestarlas. | ||
