There is widespread agreement that democracy today faces
unprecedented challenges. Populism has pushed governments in new
and surprising constitutional directions. Analysing the
constitutional system of illiberal democracies (from Venezuela to
Poland) and illiberal phenomena in 'mature democracies' that are
justified in the name of 'the will of the people', this book
explains that this drift to mild despotism is not authoritarianism,
but an abuse of constitutionalism. Illiberal governments claim that
they are as democratic and constitutional as any other. They also
claim that they are more popular and therefore more genuine because
their rule is based on conservative, plebeian and 'patriotic'
constitutional and rule of law values rather than the values
liberals espouse. However, this book shows that these claims are
deeply deceptive - an abuse of constitutionalism and the rule of
law, not a different conception of these ideas.
