Corruption affairs, doping cases, and environmental pollution trigger public outrage and involve intensifying phases of media coverage. As such, scandals are not only an essential part of social discourse in modern societies but also of relevance for the field of communication and media studies.

4th CARP Conference: Character Assassination, Illiberalism, and the Erosion of Civic Rights, Amsterdam, 21-23 June 2023. Thursday 22 June, 2023 Opening Keynote: Liberal and Illiberal Entanglement in Today’s World, Keynote Speaker: Marlène Laruelle (George Washington University). Illiberalism Studies Program: https://www.illiberalism.org/about-illiberalism-studies-program/ Chair: Marijn Kruk, Journalist. X: https://twitter.com/marijn_kruk?lang=en Description: Illiberalism is an emerging concept in social sciences that remains to be tested by different disciplines and approaches. In her presentation, Dr. Laruelle advances a fine-grained frame that helps to “stabilize” the concept by stating that we should 1/ look at illiberalism as an ideology and dissociate it from the literature on regime types, 2/ consider illiberalism to be in permanent situational relation to liberalism. To make that demonstration, she advances a pilot definition of illiberalism as a new ideological universe that, even if doctrinally fluid and context-based, is to some degree coherent.

In her talk, Marlène Laruelle, Director of the GW Illiberalism Studies Program, discusses the rise of populist and illiberal movements across the world and their impact on international politics. Professor Laruelle will also talk about her new projects: the Illiberalism Studies Program, the Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism, and the Journal of Illiberalism Studies. Marlène Laruelle is Research Professor of International Affairs and Director of the Illiberalism Studies Program at the George Washington University. Trained in political philosophy, she explores how nationalism and conservative values are becoming mainstream in different cultural contexts. https://www.marlene-laruelle.com/
