We argued then that liberal democracies, if they were to Swithstand growing calls for exceptionalism, needed to find a way to recon- cile the demands of security with a respect for fundamental human rights. With the benefit of hindsight, and having witnessed the steady rise of populism over the last ten years, this call now appears both prophetic and increasingly urgent. Today there is little doubt that populism constitutes a central challenge to lib- eral democratic norms, preying as it does on existential fear while promoting nationalist paranoia and stoking racial and religious division.
