Purchase options and add-ons

Self-described populist leaders around the world are dismantling their nation's constitutions. This has led to a widespread view that populism as such is inconsistent with constitutionalism. This book proposes that some forms of populism are inconsistent with constitutionalism, while others aren't. Context and detail matter.

Power to the People offers a thin definition of constitutionalism that people from the progressive left to the conservative right should be able to agree on even if they would supplement the thin definition within other more partisan ideas. This is followed by a similarly basic definition of populism. Comparing the two, this book argues that one facet of populism -its suspicion of institutions that are strongly entrenched against change by political majorities-is sometimes inconsistent with constitutionalism's thinly understood definition.

The book provides a series of case studies, some organized by nation, others by topic, to identify, more precisely, when and how populist programs are inconsistent with constitutionalism-and, importantly, when and how they are not. Concluding with a discussion of the possibilities for a deeper, populist democracy, the book examines recent challenges to the idea that democracy is a good form of government by exploring possibilities for new, albeit revisable, institutions that can determine and implement a majority's views without always threatening constitutionalism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Tushnet and Bugaric provide a series of case studies to identify when and how populist programs worldwide are inconsistent with constitutionalism and, importantly, when and how they are not. Concluding with a discussion of the possibilities for a deeper, populist democracy, they examine recent challenges to the idea that democracy is a good form of government by exploring possibilities for new, albeit revisable, institutions that can determine and implement a majority's views without always threatening constitutionalism." -- Law & Social Inquiry

"Defending constitutionalism may seem remote from the everyday experience of most lawyers in this country but if we can't - or won't - defend the rule of law, who will? Power to the People provides the tools to engage in a debate that is likely to define at least the first half of 21st-century constitutionalism." -- Max D Winthrop, senior partner at Short Richardson & Forth, Newcastle, Law Society Gazette
