| Title | Restriction of political freedoms by legislation against incitement of hatred: Militant democracy or interference in political process? |
| Summary | This thesis will overview the concept of militant democracy and its actual implementation in Russia and United Kingdom. The analysis would focus on two elements of militant democracy – criminal legislation for incitement and additional instruments – i.e. all other measures by state actors. Incitement legislation and its implementation will be compared by looking at specific elements, while the systems of additional instruments would viewed as a whole. The author will argue that the concept of ‘militant democracy’ is a specific political-judicial concept, influenced by experience of totalitarian movements abusing democracy, deeply embedded into international and national legal framework. By looking into specific national aspects of implementing militant democracy, the author will highlight the similarities and differences in approaches between the two jurisdictions. |
