Author Meets Critics: Jacobsohn and Roznai, Constitutional Revolution

Session Submission Type: Author meet critics

Session Description

Jacobsohn and Roznai's forthcoming book examines key concepts in current discussions of democratic constitutionalism. What constitutes a "constitutional moment"? How do we describe changes in a constitutional order, and at what point are those changes better described as transformations or even revolutions? A panel of scholars meet one of the authors to test his answers to these and other questions.
