Abstract
The rise of identity politics is challenging European constitutionalism that, after the failed effort to create a demos under a Constitution, focused on the protection of human rights. When the demands for identity recognition cannot find spaces to be voiced, they may lead to forms of new populism/nationalism. Against such backdrop, how can constitutionalism help to manage this tension?
