Does the rise of populism, authoritarianism, and nationalism
threaten the welfare of the rule of law? Is this fundamental
democratic ideal under siege? In this timely and important book,
Raymond Wacks examines the philosophical roots of the rule of law
and its modern, often contentious, interpretation. He then
investigates 16 potential ideological, economic, legal, and
institutional dangers to the rule of law. They range from the
exercise of judicial and administrative discretion and
parliamentary sovereignty, to the growth of globalisation, the 'war
on terror', and the disquieting power of Big Tech. He also
considers the enactment and enforcement in several countries of
Draconian measures to curtail the spread of COVID-19, which has
generated fears that these emergency powers may outlive the
pandemic and become a permanent feature of the legal landscape,
thereby impairing the rule of law. Wacks identifies which issues
among this extensive array pose genuine risks to the rule of law,
and suggests how they might be confronted to ensure its defence and
preservation.
