Drawing on a systematic review of 2,401 scientific articles, Hugo Bonin shows how 'liberal democracy' has shifted from a contested analytical concept to a defensive catchphrase.

Postdoctoral Researcher, London School of Economics and Political Science
Hugo specialises in the history of political thought, with a focus on the circulation, contestation, and institutionalisation of democratic ideas across France and the United Kingdom.
His research integrates qualitative and digital methods to explore how political concepts evolve and shape our collective imagination.
