Reviews

This collection of essays edited by Giacomo Delledonne, Giuseppe Martinico, Matteo Monti and Fabio Pacini raises fundamental questions about the relationship between populism and constitutional law, one of the most debated questions in comparative constitutional studies of the last decade. (Eleonora Bottini, iconnectblog.com, April 24, 2021) The authors of this excellent book, dealing with more democratic, 'true' populism, convincingly argue that the constitutional developments in the last decades in Italy have been compatible with the ideals of constitutionalism despite the populist arguments and failed reforms. (Gabor Halmai, Zeitschrift fur oeffentliches Recht, Vol. 75, 2020) Having analyzed the chapters, all well written and structured, one can only applaud the effort, brilliantly successful, of the authors to examine, in a timely and thorough manner, what has been the impact of populism on our constitutional system. (Ferdinando La Placa, Forum di Quaderni Costituzionali, Issue 2, 2020)
