This book develops a sociologically informed theory of
constitutionalism in the global realm, addressing both national and
transnational forms of constitutional ordering. The book begins
with the argument that current approaches to constitutionalism
remain tied to a state-based conception of constitutions, and
overlooks underlying structural transformations that trigger the
emergence of constitutional forms of ordering. Poul F. Kjaer aims
to address this shortcoming by offering a sociological and
historically informed analysis of the evolution of
constitutionalism in the face of globalisation. The analysis
contextualises on-going constitutional developments through the use
of a long-term historical perspective, which is capable of
highlighting the impact of deeper structural transformations
unfolding within society. The book looks at the ways in which
national and transnational legal forms have evolved alongside one
another. It demonstrates that the formation of global constitutions
has not resulted in a corresponding decrease in the power of nation
states, but instead, legal and political aspects of both the nation
state and the transnational have been reconfigured and intensified
in a mutually supportive manner. In combining insights from a range
of fields, this interdisciplinary book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of constitutional law, sociology, global
governance studies, and legal, social and political theory.
