""Populism and Civil Society: The Challenge to Constitutional Democracy" is a theoretical
work, that draws on extensive secondary literature as well comparative analysis of
cases. The aim is to assess the significance of what is now a global phenomenon--the
populist challenge to constitutional democracy. After defining populism using the
methods of immanent criticism and ideal typic construction, it proceeds to examine
the challenge in terms of its four main organizational forms: movement mobilization,
political party, government and regime. It considers the important questions "why
populism" and "why now". Without presupposing the authoritarian logic of the phenomenon
in the definition, the book seeks to demonstrate it through the reconstruction of
the main elements used by advocates to identify populism. It shows that the authoritarian
logic is not realized in every empirical form of populism, and considers why this
is so for many movement and party forms, and even populists "in" government vs. populism
as 'the" government. The historical examples of the latter we identify as "hybrid"
regimes blending authoritarian elements and residual democratic forms. The book then
proceeds to consider the uneasy relationship of populism to constitutionalism. It
presents populism as a form of abusive or instrumental "constitutionalism" often relying
on the alleged permanence of the quasi-revolutionary constituent power. It concludes
by outlining a non- and anti-populist project of democratization and social justice,
distinguishing between the "popular" and the "populist" and outlining a program based
on the plurality of democracies and the rescue of some of left populism's "host ideologies""
