Background reading

There are, of course, vast literatures, in political and social science, on populism and democracy, both individually and in connection.

In our research project on (anti?) constitutional populism, we connect with this body of work more selectively, because the novelty of our subject is found in the post-democratic locations and distinctively law-related ambitions, connections, and engagements, of the new populists.

For those with enthusiasm to gain deeper insights into what body of literature is informing the project right from its inception, here are materials to dip into:
