Constitutional democracies and constitutional democracy appear in trouble
throughout the world. The United States, Israel, Turkey, South Africa, Hungary, Poland, and
Venezuela seem particular problem children, but the Catalonian secession in Spain, Brexit
in the United Kingdom, the rise of authoritarian constitutionalism in South Asia, the over-
throw of the Morsi government in Egypt, and the continued weakness of constitutional
democracy throughout Africa and Latin American suggest that no earthly haven is immune
to whatever is ailing regimes that purport to be constitutional and democratic. As this vol-
ume was being completed, new challenges to constitutional democracy emerged in Italy and
Brazil, with right- wing populist forces gaining strength in Germany and in the Netherlands.

ing,”3 “democratic deconsolidation,”4 “constitutional retrogression,”5 “constitutional failure,”6
