We live in times of multiple threats and challenges. War, climate change, pandemics, polarization and more, put society and everyday life into perspective. Each of these threats also seriously challenges democracy and the rule of law, implicitly as well as directly, blatantly so during this spring. This workshop brings together Nordic and Baltic legal researchers to examine weaknesses, resilience and restoration of the rule of law - nationally and regionally – contextualizing, analyzing and imagining past, present and future situations. The researchers participating all have unique insights on how constitutional fundaments such as the rule of law have been tested and questioned in concrete cases. What did we learn from examples from the 20^th Century? How can historical and current examples have an impact on future choices and how we relate to state, administration and civil society?
