The recent surge of populism across Europe and the United States demands a comprehensive understanding within a comparative and historical framework. By examining Italy, particularly through the lens of a self-styled populist coalition government, this book delves into the intricate ways in which populists in power borrow, utilize, and manipulate categories of constitutional theory and legal instruments. Author Giuseppe Martinico goes beyond treating constitutionalism and populism as inherently opposed entities, exploring the profound impact of populism on the functioning of certain instruments of constitutional democracy. His objective is to investigate their potential as platforms for populist claims and targets of populist attacks, while also highlighting strategies for constitutional democracies to channel these claims without compromising the legacy of post-World War II constitutionalism. This book is a valuable resource for academics and practicing lawyers with an interest in populism and comparative constitutional law.
