Tempering Power

'Martin Krygier's Tempering Power is a tonic for disappointments with our tarnished democracies. It elegantly reconfigures how we think about the rule of law, its history and future as a concept. Krygier shows how tempering power is a fertile foundation for a more decent constitutional architecture, and a civil society architecture, for the dangerous challenges of this century. It is no less than a foundation that can help to prevent wars, help prevent ecological collapse, moderate the burgeoning globalization of disease, temper the excesses and hallucinations of AIs. This is a meaning-making book for readers who care about the fate of freedom for an era of daunting challenges.' John Braithwaite, Australian National University

Rethinking the Rule of Law after Communism

Anti-Constitutional Populism

'Populism is a reminder that constitutions are too important to be left to the lawyers and too powerful to be left to the politicians. This collection of essays revisits the basic paradox of constitutions as both power limitation and expansion to discuss ideological, political, juridical, argumentative and other challenges of populism to the democratic constitutionalism. It represents a major contribution to the plethora of populism literature because of its original focus on populism's parallel constitutional and anti-constitutional power, its variety, diversity and global contextualisation beyond common intellectual clichés and academic stereotypes.' Jiří Přibáň, Director of the Centre of Law and Society, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University
