O desmembramento constitucional é uma das principais consequências associadas às emendas constitucionais que o livro de Albert analisa. Depois de analisar a definição de Albert, o presente ensaio focaliza a prática do desmembra-mento constitucional por referendo e discute se, em tempos de populismo e decadência democrática, o desenho cons-titucional deve prever medidas específicas para proteger a oposição política da aliança entre a liderança populista e a maioria da população. Com base na literatura existente e em uma análise comparativa, o ensaio conclui destacando os prós e contras da introdução de proteções especiais para as minorias políticas durante os referendos constitucionais para proteger a democracia contra os desvios populistas, sugerindo a necessidade de fornecer mais estudos nesse campo.2020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7680822(Revista) ISSN 2359-5639Revista de Investigações Constitucionais, ISSN 2359-5639, Vol. 7, Nº. 3, 2020 (Ejemplar dedicado a: setembro/dezembro - Dossiê: "Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions - a dialogue with Richard Albert"), pags. 795-811engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
