Constitutions and Constitutionalism in Central and Eastern Europe - CEU Press
Discipline:Social and Political Sciences
Conventionally, studies of constitutionalism have been driven by a few dominant jurisdictions, located in Anglophone countries, with separate regional discourses in areas aided by language affinities. Eastern and Central Europe (encompassing the region of the Western Balkans and Ukraine) includes many, especially smaller jurisdictions and phenomena of interest to the study of constitutionalism that are at the margins of globally accessible knowledge. Moreover, this region has received increased scholarly attention primarily through the discourses on ‘illiberal/populist/authoritarian’ constitutionalism – but these discourses also create and perpetuate a particular image of the region, while beyond illiberalism, scholarly attention has been scant. Central and Eastern Europe’s ‘peripheral’ status within the wider ‘Global North’ means that local constitutional phenomena are often understudied, underfunded, and confined to ‘outlier’ status. Scholarly collaborations, including through book series offer a unique opportunity to recognize that ‘core/periphery divide’ is not confined to a ‘North/South’ divide, but is a more complex process. Overall, the series aids in recognizing and finding new constitutional ideas to address the dynamics of hierarchies in the studies and practices of constitutions.
