You are cordially invited to a presentation of the recently published Research Handbook on the Politics of Constitutional Law (Edward Elgar Publishing 2023) co-edited by Dimitry Kochenov (head of the Rule of Law Workgroup at CEU Democracy Institute) and Mark Tushnet (Harvard University).
Please note that to attend, registration is required.
This Handbook deals with the politics of constitutional law around the world, using both comparative and political analysis, delivering global treatment of the politics of constitutional law across issues, regions and legal systems. It shows that understanding constitutional law means understanding constitutional politics and proves that to understand any specific feature of a nation’s legal system one had to see that feature in its full context, legal, political, cultural, historical, and more.
The discussion will concentrate on developments in Central Europe. Brief presentations of chapters will be provided by:
- Elena Basheska (CEU Democracy Institute)
- Violeta Beširević (Dean, Union University School of Law, Belgrade, Serbia; CEU Democracy Institute)
- Zoltán Fleck (ELTE, Budapest, Hungary)
- Sarah Ganty (Yale Law School; Ghent University; CEU Democracy Institute)
- Zoran Oklopčić (Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada)
Co-chairs: Barbara Grabowska-Moroz and Dimitry Kochenov (CEU Democracy Institute, Rule of Law Workgroup)
Date: 24 May 2024, 1 p.m.
Place: Budapest, Nádor 13, Room 606 (DI Lounge).
