DESCRIPTION:\n	At a moment of democratic crisis in Europe\, when far-right p
 arties are gaining power\, courts are expected to act as key defenders of 
 rights and freedoms. In the discussion of their book\, La démocratie en ét
 at d'urgence\, Stéphanie Hennette Vauchez and Antoine Vauchez examine how 
 France's highest courts-the Council of State and the Constitutional Counci
 l-have often reinforced executive power rather than limiting it\, revealin
 g how judicial practices may be contributing to the erosion of democratic 
 trust and legitimacy.\n\n	 \n\n	Biography\n\n	\n		\n			\n				Stéphanie Hennette Vauche

 ember of the Institut universitaire de France. Her research explores gende
