@uliano_andre @hartpublishing @BloomsburyBooks @BloomsburyAcad Thank you. Absolutely—I discuss Brazil in Chapter 2 of the book, particularly in relation to the Lava Jato investigation. The Brazilian case study is crucial for adding nuance to prevailing claims about the relationship between populism and constitutionalism.

@RaphaelGirard @hartpublishing @BloomsburyBooks @BloomsburyAcad Congrats on the nuanced view regarding the interplay between “populism” and courts. I could see in Brazil that courts are far from a perfect remedy.

@LSEnews @LSELaw @UniofExeter @ExeterLawSchool Overall, the book suggests that populism's relationship with constitutionalism is complex and context-dependent. It produces divergent tensions, thereby challenging assumptions about both the institutional role of courts and the nature of constitutionalism itself.

In this @Verfassungsblog post, @JohannesSocher and I suggest that countries that allow out-of-country voting should make more efforts to provide genuine opportunities for non-resident citizens to vote in elections, free from excessive practical hurdles. verfassungsblog.de/ahead-of-germa…

@halmai_gabor @ExeterLawSchool Well worth the read for anyone interested in illiberalism, 'undemocratic' liberal constitutionalism and the role of courts in constitutional democracies.

A fascinating and thought-provoking post by Prof. Gábor Halmai (@halmai_gabor) on the long-term legacy of J. László Sólyom (1942-2023) as the founding President of the Constitutional Court of Hungary, published in our new @ExeterLawSchool HRDF blog: sites.exeter.ac.uk/humanrightsand…
