In person icon Postnational Constitutionalism

Abstract

Constitutions are going transnational. Having been originally developed in centralized states, constitutions increasingly serve to coordinate the cooperation and political integration of states. For example, The European Union is said to be at least partially constitutionalized, as EU law has legal supremacy over member state law and direct effect in national legislation. Within states, constitutions serve well established political and legal functions. They act as foundational documents which define the basic terms of political interaction, structure the authority of political and legal institutions, and articulate the citizens’ rights, but it is not clear what functions constitutions are mean to serve in the post-national context, namely at the regional or international level. This panel will contain a series of papers from scholars working to illuminate the features and consequences of postnational constitutional orders.
