Come and join what is bound to be a lively and interesting discussion of the book which is the first book-length treatment of the Polish case worldwide, a valuable addition to scholarship on populism, illiberal democracy, and anti-constitutional actions, provides the first detailed account of Poland’s constitutional breakdown, offers an important critique of illiberal democracy and other anti-liberal actions, sets Poland in the context of other Eastern European regimes, and theorizes remedies for anti-constitutional populist backsliding.
