Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is an introduction into the Comparative Constitutional Studies lecture series held by Prof. Manfred Stelzer. It is designed to enable students to engage in a comparative study of constitutional systems from a wide variety of jurisdictions such as the UK, Russia, Thailand, Austria, Finland, Japan, Germany, Australia, South Africa, Vietnam and the USA. A thematic approach, meanwhile, provides for a variety of subject-areas: Part I of the lecture series - as a starting point - will focus on "Heads of States". This will allow for a discussion of aspects of comparative constitutional law in greater depth - a considerable advantage for those attracted to this field.
