About this Event
Dr Sohan Dasgupta is former Assistant Secretary for Trade and Economic Security & former Political Head of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, U.S. Government.
In this lecture, Dr Dasgupta examines the contemporary condition of the rule of law across constitutional democracies. Drawing upon Cambridge’s intellectual tradition — ranging from Dicey and Hart to Lord Bingham — he situates present developments within a longer jurisprudential and historical arc. Integrating comparative empirical evidence with philosophical foundations, the lecture considers evolving tensions among executive power, legislative oversight, judicial independence, civic trust, and technological change. This address offers a thoughtful and sober assessment of institutional resilience and the enduring normative significance of the rule of law in free societies.
