Human Rights in a Time of Populism: Challenges and Responses

Publication at Faculty of Law |
2023

Abstract

There is little doubt that human rights and populism both belong among the buzzwords of our times. And yet, leaving aside certain isolated articles and essays (Alston Reference Alston2017; Bílková Reference Bílková2019; Mégret Reference Mégret2021), the complicated, and at instances antagonistic, relationship between them has so far largely escaped scholarly reflection.

The collective monography under review is one of the first attempts to engage in such a reflection. Emerging from a conference organized at Harvard Law School in March 2018, the book, edited by Gerald L.

Neuman, brings together eleven contributions authored predominantly by legal scholars and political scientists.
