Constitutional supremacy and active judicial review – concepts that have long been major pillars of the American political order – are now shared, in one form or another, by over one hundred countries and several transnational entities across the globe. Consequently, constitutional law and courts have gained considerable political significance worldwide. This seminar offers a comparative examination of several core aspects of this global trend, and provides an opportunity for students to explore a topic of interest in that area. Instead of the traditional court-centric case law approach deployed in most comparative constitutional law classes, we will combine examination of comparative jurisprudence with exploration of new frontiers of pertinent legal and social science research concerning the origins and consequences of the worldwide expansion of constitutionalism and judicial review.
