The new wave of populism that has emerged over the last five years
in Europe and in the US urgently needs to be better understood in a
comparative and historical context. Using Italy - including the
experiment of a self-styled populist coalition government - as a
case study, this book investigates how populists in power borrow,
use and manipulate categories of constitutional theory and
instruments of constitutional law. Giuseppe Martinico goes beyond
treating constitutionalism and populism as purely antithetical to
dive deeply into the impact of populism on the activity of some
instruments of constitutional democracy, endeavoring to explore
their role as possible fora of populist claims and targets of
populist attacks. Most importantly, he points to ways in which
constitutional democracies can channel populist claims without
jeopardizing the legacy of post-World War II constitutionalism.
This book is aimed at academics and practicing lawyers interested
in populism and comparative constitutional law.
