Modern constitutionalism as an idea and practice is facing great
uncertainty in current times. Scholarly debates focus predominantly
on constitutions beyond the state, while the predicament of
domestic constitutionalism is much less considered. This volume
contributes to a theoretically informed analysis of the key
challenges and changes affecting domestic constitutionalism in
Europe and beyond, departing from the idea of 'constitutional
acceleration' or the increased propensity of different actors to
engage in (formal) reform of the constitutional order. The volume
points to a fundamental change in the function of constitutions in
that constitutions themselves are increasingly subjects of
political contestation rather than framing political debates. The
collection of essays addresses a range of critical challenges -
including societal acceleration, depoliticization, civic
engagement, multi-faceted constituent power, modernization,
populism and nationalism, and transnationalization. The volume
includes a variety of disciplinary, and in some cases
interdisciplinary, approaches, including (political) sociology,
political science, constitutional law, and constitutional and legal
theory, and will be of interest to researchers and students in any
of these areas. Case studies focus on the EU and the wider European
context, and include highly relevant but little known or
ill-understood cases, such as the recent constitutional events in
Iceland, Italy, or Romania, and cases of democratic reversal, such
as Hungary, while also engaging with traditional but rapidly
changing cases of constitutional interest, such as the UK.
