“…However, legal pluralism inverts this relationship, raising the empirical objection that norms generated by corporations may have a stronger influence over nation states, for example, when regulating market exchanges. 27 The legal pluralist charge that liberal legalism rests on a fundamental misdescription of law is particularly relevant for constitutional study. Rights constitutionalism, sitting at the apex of a hierarchy of formal norms, can be seen as the ultimate expression of liberal legalism.…”

This paper addresses the counterhegemonic potential of rights constitutionalism in the age of globalization, and in particular its capacity to respond to the rise of significant forms of private power. It locates this issue in the context of the paradigmatic debate of modern law between liberal legalism and legal pluralism. The latter challenges the core epistemological assumptions of orthodox constitutional thought that law is exclusively state law (by positing the existence of non-state legal orders) and that this tends towards coherence and effectiveness. For legal pluralism, constitutionalism's importance does not lie primarily in the outcome of normative argument, but in symbolic terms as a legitimating discourse. Accordingly, to claim that law only emanates from state institutions, and is an effective tool of social engineering, is not simply an analytical statement, but reflects a substantive political agenda. The politics of definition of classical liberalism and the 'new constitutionalism' are contrasted to consider how they set the parameters for political debate. The former, which views constitutionalism as negative limits on the state, reinforces hegemonic interests by its narrow conception of political power as inhering in public institutions, whereas the latter, by locating constitutional norms, for example in the actions of multinational corporations, potentially opens up private power to constitutional scrutiny. It is concluded that the prospects for counterhegemonic constitutionalism lie in opening up the politics of definition of constitutional law to critical debate.

We report a near-broken-gap alignment between p-type FeWO 4 and n-type Fe 2 WO 6 , a model pair for the realization of Ohmic direct junction thermoelectrics. Both undoped materials have a large Seebeck coefficient and high electrical conductivity at elevated temperatures, due to inherent electronic defects. A band-alignment diagram is proposed based on X-ray photoelectron and ultraviolet–visible light reflectance spectroscopy. Experimentally acquired nonrectifying I – V characteristics and the constructed band-alignment diagram support the proposed formation of a near-broken-gap junction. We have additionally performed computational modeling based on density functional theory (DFT) on bulk models of the individual compounds to rationalize the experimental band-alignment diagram and to provide deeper insight into the relevant band characteristics. The DFT calculations confirm an Fe-3d character of the involved band edges, which we suggest is a decisive feature for the unusual band overlap.
