Summary

A well-regarded scholar has correctly pointed out that ‘populism has a problematic relationship with constitutionalism’.1 It would be too ambitious to investigate the several ways in which such a problematic relationship has been framed,2 and, especially, the different perspectives which have been undertaken in order to investigate it.3 The aims of this chapter are much narrower.
