SUGGESTED THEMES
Contemporary constitutional orders are increasingly shaped by tensions between universal norms and particular identities. Between state sovereignty and supranational or transnational governance. Between democratic self-determination and constitutional constraints. Debates over migration, multiculturalism, indigenous rights, populism, secession, digital sovereignty, and emergency powers raise foundational questions about how constitutions can and/or should articulate identity and allocate authority. This Congress aims to provide a forum for the critical examination of these dynamics from theoretical, doctrinal, comparative, and empirical perspectives.
Considering the general theme of the event, we welcome submissions on the following topics, amongst others:
* Constitutional identity and constitutional pluralism
* Sovereignty in federal, regional, and multilevel constitutional systems
* National identity, citizenship, and migration in constitutional law
* Indigenous peoples, self-determination, and constitutional recognition
* Populism, illiberal constitutionalism, and challenges to the rule of law
* Secession, autonomy movements, and constitutional change
* Supranational constitutionalism (EU, international courts, global governance)
* Emergency powers, security, and the limits of sovereignty
* Digital sovereignty, technology, and constitutional rights
* Comparative and transnational perspectives on constitutional identity
