Constitutionalism in a New Key? What Might Global Constitutionalism Become?
This session seeks to continue and deepen the discussion of the themes of the two-day conference.
Background papers and/or discussion points by
Antje Wiener (Hamburg) and Michael Zürn (Berlin)
Chair: Miguel Maduro (Florence)
The conference seeks to rethink basic issues of constitutional theory in light of contemporary challenges, that have been sidelined and obscured by the generally statist focus of traditional constitutional theory. Among the questions that will be examined are: Can a constituent power, which is exclusively national, be the ground for the constitutions claim to legitimate authority? How can constitutional theory contribute to a normative understanding of borders? How is the relationship between national and international law to be conceived within constitutional theory? If constitutionalism is more than legalization, under what conditions is it reasonable to speak of "constitutionalism beyond the state", say in connection with the European Union or the UN? And what are the practical consequences?
The conference is organized by:

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
