Philip Manow
Philip Manow is a prominent political economist and professor at the University of Siegen, known for his critical analysis of liberal democracy and its relationship with populism. His latest book, 'Unter Beobachtung – Die Bestimmung der liberalen Demokratie und ihrer Freunde', published in 2024, explores how the structure of liberal democracies, particularly the role of powerful constitutional courts, can inadvertently foster populist movements. Manow argues that an overemphasis on judicial oversight can undermine political processes and contribute to the rise of populism in Europe, making his insights particularly relevant in today's political discourse.
