The Principles of Constitutional Reform

Abstract: In legal orders around the world, commitments to democracy, liberalism and constitutionalism are increasingly eroding. Although political and constitutional theorists often lament this trend, they invariably adopt frameworks that are indifferent to these commitments. My aims in this article are both critical and constructive. As a critical matter, I will expose the indifference of the leading political and constitutional theories to the emergence, maintenance and refinement of liberal democratic constitutional… Show more

“…At Kants rettsfilosofi har demokratiske implikasjoner er ikke ukontroversielt, men heller ikke et nytt syn innen Kantforskningen. Se for eksempel Maus (1994), Eberl (2008), Thiele (2008) og Weinrib (2019) for demokratiske lesninger av Kant. Se Habermas (1996) for en lesning som gjør Kant til en autoritaer statsteoretiker.…”
