An Enlightened Man

Description
Wojciech Sadurski has been the translator, interpreter, and clarion of the post-1989 transformation of Eastern Europe for an attentive public of constitutionalists. This chapter discusses his work, which has chronicled the transition from a concern for the most basic of human rights under authoritarian rule to the challenges of democratic governance. The compelling rights discourse of an earlier period gave way to a more delicate claim of abuse of majoritarian prerogatives as the hopes of liberal democracy encountered the power of illiberalism. Across his writings, one sees in Sadurski the constant need to redefine the structures of constitutionalism as the source of vulnerability shifts from the individual to the polity.
