The School of Law of UCLan Cyprus is pleased to announce a new LLM module on EU Constitutional Law and Governance in populist times. This is an exciting and timely module investigating populism, one of the primary threats to European stability, democracy, and the rule of law. As such, it is an incredible opportunity for students from all disciplines. The module not only analyses populism proliferates at the local, national, and regional level, deteriorating the rule of law and undermining democratic government, but also evaluates the mechanisms available to the EU to stymie the growth of right-wing populism.
