Call for papers: Constituent Power in Commonwealth Constitutional Legal Systems: Workshop on Emerging Research (online, kwiecień 2021 r.)

Birmingham Law School organizuje w kwietniu 2021 r. warsztaty online pt. "Constituent Power in Commonwealth Constitutional Legal Systems" skierowane do badaczy na wszystkich szczeblach kariery naukowej. 

Wystąpienia mogą w szczególności dotyczyć następujących zagadnień:

• Can the claim that constituent power is possessed by ‘the people’ be maintained in a constitutional order that was externally imposed?
• Who are or should be ‘the people’, how has this evolved over time in commonwealth constitutional systems, and how does this affect where constituent power lies?
• What processes can be developed for these constitutions to be repatriated or, indeed, ‘patriated’?
• What role has constituent power to play in a constitutional order where ‘What the Crown-in-Parliament enacts is law’ is the apex norm and there are no constitutionally entrenched laws legally restricting this power? 
• How should constitutions be designed to enable ‘the people’ to challenge those who claim to speak on their behalf?
• To what extent should indigenous populations be given a distinct voice in constitutions and constituent processes? 

Zgłoszenia (abstrakty do 250 słów) należy przesyłać do 22 stycznia 2021 r.
