Constitutionalism is in crisis. And the crisis unfolds not only on a national or a regional level. It is a global phenomenon: Democracy is no longer on the rise, the rule of law appears weakened, political cohesion seems to erode. The protection of human rights is being questioned, international criminal law is not broadly recognised, international trade may have lost some of its appeal. Institutional actors find their authority questioned, established political parties are threatened by ever-changing popular movements. But to where does the charted road lead? How will the ‘Crisis of Constitutionalism’ unfold in the years to come? Nobody knows, of course. But at the same time, nobody is too keen to make an educated guess either. This volume remedies that. By giving nine scholars in law and political science the opportunity to make their predictions as to where the constitutionalist project will stand ten years from now, it creates a forum of deliberation that will not only aim at anticipating the developments in question but at the same time shape academic discourse on constitutionalism alongside it.
