By providing a series of case studies, some organized by nation, others by topic, the book identifies these populist inconsistencies with constitutionalism - and, importantly, when and how they are not. Opening a dialogue for the possibility of 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 institutions that can determine and implement a majority's views without always threatening constitutionalism.
