COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
This course introduces students to various interesting questions in comparative constitutional law on the
basis of selected constitutional instruments from different jurisdictions. Firstly, we will enter into a discussion
of structural issues, including comparative approaches to the separation of powers and judicial review.
Secondly, we will analyze different approaches to federalism, among others addressing a comparison of
competitive and cooperative models respectively. Thirdly, we will explore the question of constitutional
change, focusing on how constitutions are amended and how new constitutions are written. Finally, we will
address comparative approaches to individual rights, including the question of positive rights.
