Cross-post from I·CONnect, http://www.iconnectblog.com/2015/11/call-for-papers-symposium-on-founding-moments-in-constitutionalism/ Yale Law School, April 15-16, 2016. This Symposium is convened by Richard Albert (Boston College/Yale Law School) and Menaka Guruswamy (Yale Law School). Founding moments are landmark events that break ties with the ancien regime and lay the foundation for the establishment of modern states. Founding moments shape national law, influence surrounding countries, establish future power structures and legitimize certain political institutions within the country. This conference on founding moments in constitutionalism is an opportunity to address this phenomenon and how it relates to our understanding of law.

As part of our group’s research activities we are launching a new Comparative Constitutional Change book series. Please feel free to circulate the news to scholars who might be interested in submitting a book proposal. Comparative Constitutional Change has developed into a distinct field of constitutional law that encompasses the study of constitutions through the way they change and covers a wide scope of topics and methodologies. Books in this series include work on constitutional development in the functions of the constitution, the organization of powers and the protection of rights, but also work that focuses on formal amendment rules and the relation between constituent and constitutive power.
