Legal Theory Workshop: The Meaning of Constitutionalism in a Globalized World

Legal Theory Workshop with Poul F. Kjaer of the Copenhagen Business School. His talk will draw from his latest book, Constitutionalism in the Global Realm: A Sociological Approach, which looks at the ways in which national and transnational legal forms have evolved alongside one another and 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.
