Abstract
In the chapter, I will first discuss the phenomenon of populist constitutionalism as a reaction to the post-WWII hegemonic model of anti-totalitarian liberal constitutionalism as well as global legalism. Subsequently I will explore the relationship between populism and constituent power, to, in the final part, discuss the populist imaginary and mindset as a negation of liberal legalism, and the populist pretension of an alternative legal mindset, grounded in the constituent power of the people.
