The Slovak Constitutional Court has – temporarily, at least – succeeded in halting policies driving the country towards illiberalism.

Max focuses on questions of democracy protection, with emphasis on constitutional adjudication in Central Europe, European constitutionalism, militant democracy and freedom of expression.
