Summary

The aim of this collection has been to explore the relationships between populism and constitutionalism, and particularly the impact of populism in power on constitutionalism. From the chapters in the volume, it is obvious that it is not possible to tackle the problem within purely juristic categories. In order to explain the phenomenon of populism and its relationships to constitutionalism it is necessary to go outside one discipline and try to create new concepts which capture the phenomenon in its complexity. This is, in my opinion, the message coming out of this volume. It is a first step in the right direction. Of course the chapters differ from each other and authors try to explain particular case studies using their particular knowledge and drawing upon the disciplines they came from. Nevertheless, to properly understand contemporary populism and constitutionalism, concepts need to be developed which fuse together legal, sociological, and political dimensions of the phenomena in question.
