Wojciech Sadurski is like Czesław Miłosz for a whole generation of
young and aspiring constitutional and human rights scholars.
Looking at Poland from some distance, he shares his philosophical,
provocative, intriguing, and passionate thoughts and comments. In
this remarkable, in-depth collection, Sadurski's scholarship and
engagement in public matters are proven to be the true expression
of patriotism and devotion to constitutional and liberal democracy.
He is, for sure, changing the course of the 'avalanche'.
*Adam Bodnar, Polish Ombudsman*
Wojciech Sadurski is a commanding figure in constitutional law and
theory; his learned work has illuminated rights, judicial review,
and how democratic constitutionalism decays. His volumewith essays
on populism and democratic decline; the EU, rights protection, and
the rule of law; and militant democracy and constitutional reviewis
a worthy tribute to Wojciech, the person and the scholar.
*Vicki C. Jackson, Thurgood Marshall Professor of Constitutional
Law, Harvard Law School*
Wojciech Sadurski is a contemporary giant of liberal political and
legal thought. His work is ever more relevant and necessary during
these times of growing darkness and oppression.
*Robert C. Post, Sterling Professor of Law, Yale Law School*
For several decades Wojciech Sadurski has traced the growth of
democracy in Eastern and Central Europe and its decline with a
determined commitment to liberalism and the rule of law. These
essays explore the major themes of his workpopulism, democratic
decline, rule of law, constitutional review, militant democracy,
supranational constitutionalism, and public reason. The essays are
a rich testament to the lasting legacy of this extraordinary and
courageous scholar and public intellectual.
