Is the contemporary form of constitutionalism fit for purpose to address the social, political, and economic discontents around the world? What is the difference between a constitution and constitutionalism? In this episode Professor Gerry Simpson and Professor Martin Loughlin analyse the nature of constitutionalism today. Given the rise of populism in recent years, can constitutional principles be relied upon to meet the demands of the electorate? Martin Loughlin provides a fascinating insight into the changing meaning of constitutionalism from its early iteration in the 18th and 19th centuries to practices of constitutionalism in the post-1989 world.
