Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies 16.2: Special Issue
Symposium: Global Constitutionalism, Process and Substance; Kandersteg, Switzerland, January 17-20, 2008
From the introduction by Anne Peters and Klaus Armingeon:
Toward a Research Agenda of Global Constitutionalism
"The academic objectives of the contributions to this issue are to identify the constitutional predispositions and indices in the international system, to rationally structure the current constitutional chaos, to measure and explain constitutionalization beyond the nation-state, and to encourage reflection on how the process of global constitutionalization might be broadened and intensified, and, in doing so, to help vindicate claims for an even more constitutionalized world order. We are also interested in the question whether constitutions beyond the nation-state are effective and democratic, and whether the effectiveness and democratic legitimacy of international constitutional law can be improved."
