IPSA is pleased to announce that Professor Neera Chandhoke will be a plenary speaker at the 2025 IPSA World Congress in Seoul on 16 July 2025.

Her keynote, titled Legal Autocracy in South Asia, will examine how autocrats in the region undermine democratic institutions through legislation while maintaining the facade of democracy. Prof. Chandhoke will explore the factors behind their enduring popularity, including the use of populist strategies that exploit fears and historical conflicts in pluralistic societies.
