Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is part of the Comparative Constitutional Studies lecture series held by Prof. Manfred Stelzer. Due to the current situation it will be held online to ensure that all students, especially those who might participate in an exchange programme will be able to finish it. The course is designed to enable students to engage in a comparative discussion of constitutional systems from a wide variety of jurisdictions such as the UK, Germany, Australia, China, the USA, Finland etc, based on a series of books cited below. A thematic approach provides for different subject-areas: Part VI of the lecture series will focus on "Constitutional Review”. Such an approach will allow for a discussion of aspects of comparative constitutional law in greater depth - a considerable advantage for those attracted to this field.
Assessment and permitted materials
Country-by-country, selected jurisdictions are reviewed on the basis of the same pre-selected range of themes. Participants will have to prepare short articles (about 5 pages), in this case, on the topic of "Constitutional Review" of the assigned country and upload them to the Moodle platform. It will be mandatory for all students to read all the papers shared by the participants.
Two discussion rounds will take place online via video conferences. In the first session, each paper will be discussed and questions can be raised with the author of the respective paper. For the second session, a list with questions on specific topics of comparison will be shared in time allowing students to prepare them for the discussion.Active participation in class is mandatory to complete the course. Progressively, with each new system discussed, students will learn to recognise differences and similarities from the sequence of systems.
