The Populist Challenge to Constitutional Citizenship

 

This lecture addresses the relationship between constitutional citizenship and the rise of populism. Is populism leading to the erosion of modern citizenship as an ideal of equality? The claim is that many populist politicians make extensive use of constitutional amendment processes to reinforce their sense of identity with the people.

The lecture is part of a forthcoming book, ‘The people’ in question: exploring the tensions between citizenship and constitutions (forthcoming, May 2020). Please join us to discuss one of the greatest legal challenges of our time.

Chair: Ashley Mantha-Hollands
