This Handbook introduces scholars and students to the history, philosophy, and evidence of global constitutionalism. Contributors provide their insights from law, politics, international
relations, philosophy, and history, drawing on diverse frameworks and empirical data sets to explore the idea of a global constitutional order. Across them all, however, is a recognition that
the international order cannot be understood without an understanding of constitutional theory. In bringing together some of the leading contemporary scholars, this Handbook will define this
field of inquiry for the next generation.This is the first book in the emerging interdisciplinary field of global constitutionalism and offers contributions from experts in both law and
political science. Through historical, legal, political, and ethical analyses it provides unique coverage of distinct perspectives on global constitutionalism. The editors and their authors
provide insights into the changing world order by emphasizing the constitutional-like qualities of international affairs, with particular attention to law, power, and human rights.This unique
and innovative Handbook will be the definitive state-of-the-art resource for the pioneers of global constitutionalism, as well as those readers interested in international law, international
relations theory, comparative constitutionalism, history, public philosophy, political sociology and political theory alike.
