CFP: A Post-Liberal World?

The 2018 Conference of the Centre for the Study of Global Ethics focuses specifically on the question whether we are on our way to a post-liberal world.

Do these tendencies undermine the liberal consensus (if there ever was one)? How should those committed to the idea of a liberal, democratic world and human rights react to these tendencies?
