Illiberalism is often associated with the radical right-wing of the political spectrum. While this may hold true in certain regions and historical contexts, such an association is conceptually limiting and misleading from a global perspective. This roundtable explores contemporary expressions of left-wing illiberalism, with a particular focus on Latin American politics and progressive projects in Europe. Participants will also engage with broader questions, such as whether a tension exists between social justice and individual liberty, and whether the post–Cold War left has succeeded in formulating an agenda that is both effective and democratic.
