Launch Event ‘Handbook on Global Constitutionalism’ at University of St Andrews
6 March 2024
On Tuesday, March 12th 2024, the University of St Andrews hosts a launch event for the second edition of the Handbook on Global Constitutionalism, edited by Professor Antony F. Lang and Professor Antje Wiener PhD. The event will start at 5:15 PM at School I, St Salvador’s Quad, North Street, St Andrews, and features Dr Adam Bower, Professor Jo Shaw, Dr Ruth Houghton and Dr Jan Wilkens as speakers, as well as Professor Antony F. Lang as moderator.
The revised Handbook presents an up-to-date political and philosophical history of global constitutionalism. By exploring the constitutional-like qualities of international affairs, it provides key insights into the evolving world order.
Through a sustained examination of current events, as well as an acknowledgement of the significance of early constitutional history, this erudite Handbook brings together contributions from world-leading academics. New chapters offer timely commentaries on important developments in methodology such as postcolonial and feminist approaches. By providing additional scope for analysis, this updated edition further emphasises the central message of the first: that the global order cannot be understood without a clear comprehension of constitutional theory.
The Handbook on Global Constitutionalism will act as an essential resource for scholars and academics of law, politics and human rights. Due to its comprehensive examination of vital concepts such as legal theory, it will additionally be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers.
