45] - On
Wed., May 22 from 2 to 3:30 PM, hear about What's the Point of the Rule of
Law? This event is hosted by National Endowment for Democracy, 1025
F St NW, Suite 800, WDC 20004. Beginning in the 1990s, ‘rule of law’ emerged on
the agendas of most Western aid donors. It was thought to be a key element in
solving a host of political, economic, and social ills—from corruption and
economic underdevelopment to weak political institutions and state abuse of
power. Yet successful efforts to strengthen or instill the rule of law in
places where it is weak or lacking have not been conspicuous. Why? Of course,
the task is hard. But the typical understanding of the rule of law does not
make it any easier. Moreover, the challenge today lies not merely in the
difficulty of the task and the way we approach it, but also in a shifting
global order. Western liberal-democratic models of development no longer have
the monopoly they seemed to enjoy in the 1990s. The emergence of an alternative
Chinese model, increasing skepticism about Western models, and the epidemic
rise of populist and authoritarian rivals mean that the virtues of the rule of
law can no longer be assumed to be self-evident. Those who support the rule of
law need to be able to defend it before increasingly skeptical audiences who
think they have other viable options. In his presentation, Professor Martin
Krygier will critique existing ways of thinking about the rule of law and offer
alternative frameworks. He will also explore how adapting our intellectual approach
might improve the global community’s ability both to promote the rule of law
and to defend it against the global efflorescence of populist and authoritarian
enemies. Journal of Democracy Editor Marc F. Plattner will moderate the
discussion. Attendees must register through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whats-the-point-of-the-rule-of-law-tickets-61114669622.
