Summary:

The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study of constitutional law. It aims to provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion of new developments in the field, both in Europe and beyond. This book is devoted to an exploration of varieties of constitutionalism. As the aspirations, substance and implementation of constitutions are not uniform across jurisdictions, including on account of the influence of national political and social developments, there is a concomitant need for scholars to reckon with the ideological choices that have been made and decide, with due care, on the adjective(s) to be paired with the notion of constitutionalism that best capture those choices. At the same time, there is a growing realisation that liberal constitutionalism may not be the only normatively defensible form of constitutionalism, while this form is not necessarily internally homogenous. The chapters in this edited volume engage with questions pertaining to the identification, core features and appeal of diverse varieties of constitutionalism as well as their interrelationship, including by way of the devising of taxonomies. The collection will be of special interest to those working in the fields of constitutional theory and comparative constitutional studies.
