Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The course provides an introduction to some general issues of constitutional law (constitution-making; structure of government; constitutional review; fundamental rights) from a comparative legal perspective by focusing on the Western Balkan (WB) region. During the course it is explored how the particular Western Balkan states handle these general constitutional issues, particularly in the light of the post-conflict era and processes of internationalization and democratization. By examining both the general constitutional issues and how they are realized in specific constitutional systems in the Western Balkans, the students will develop the ability to use constitutional legal material from unfamiliar legal systems, as well as the ability to analyze and evaluate it. Students are encouraged to critically reflect on similarities and differences among these constitutions and discuss the reasons and consequences related to different constitutional solutions.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Oral presentations on a selected constitutional matter in a specific WB state jurisdiction. Students are required to hand in a short briefing paper (max. 5 pages) one week prior to the presentation and, where appropriate, to reflect on the provided feedback. Active participation in the discussions following the presentations is compulsory. At the end of the course there is a 90-minute test on subjects discussed during the course (open book).
