The South of Western constitutionalism: a map ahead of a journey | ||
in Third World Quarterly , Volume 37, Issue 11 , 2016 , 2080-2097 | ||
In starting from the simple question, ‘Why didn’t the field of constitutional studies ever generate a school of thought akin to TWAIL?’, this article seeks to sketch the contours, obstacles and promises of Southern constitutionalism. In confronting the intra-, meta-, and extra-disciplinary challenges to such a project, the article defines the ‘South’ of Southern constitutionalism, not the ‘South’ of the developed ‘North’, but rather the ‘South’ of the modernist hopes in – and the post-modernist disappointments with – the templates of Western constitutional imagination. | ||
