More than half of the world's population lives in cities; by 2050, it will be more than three quarters. Projections suggest that megacities of 50 million or even 100 million inhabitants will emerge by the end of the century, mostly in the Global South. This shift marks a major and unprecedented transformation of the organization of society, both spatially and geopolitically. Our constitutional institutions and imagination, however, have failed to keep pace with this new reality. Cities have remained virtually absent from constitutional law and constitutional thought, not to mention from comparative constitutional studies more generally. As the world is urbanizing at an extraordinary rate, this book argues, new thinking about constitutionalism and urbanization is desperately needed. In six chapters, the book considers the reasons for the "constitutional blind spot" concerning the metropolis, probes the constitutional relationship between states and (mega)cities worldwide, examines patterns of constitutional change and stalemate in city status, and aims to carve a new place for the city in constitutional thought, constitutional law and constitutional practice.

Comparative study has emerged as the new frontier of constitutional law scholarship as well as an important aspect of constitutional adjudication. Increasingly, jurists, scholars, and constitution drafters worldwide are accepting that ''we are all comparativists now''. And yet, despite this tremendous renaissance, the ''comparative'' aspect of the enterprise, as a method and a project, remains under-theorized and blurry. Fundamental questions concerning the very meaningand purpose of comparative constitutional inquiry, and how it is to be undertaken, are seldom asked, let alone answered. In this path-breaking book, Ran Hirschl addresses this gap by charting the intellectual history and analytical underpinnings of comparative constitutional inquiry, probing thevarious types, aims, and methodologies of engagement with the constitutive laws of others through the ages, and exploring how and why comparative constitutional inquiry has been and ought to be pursued by academics and jurists worldwide.Through an extensive exploration of comparative constitutional endeavours past and present, near and far, Hirschl shows how attitudes towards engagement with the constitutive laws of others reflect tensions between particularism and universalism as well as competing visions of who ''we'' are as a political community. Drawing on insights from social theory, religion, history, political science, and public law, Hirschl argues for an interdisciplinary approach to comparative constitutionalism thatis methodologically and substantively preferable to merely doctrinal accounts. The future of comparative constitutional studies, he contends, lies in relaxing the sharp divide between constitutional law and the social sciences.Comparative Matters makes a unique and welcome contribution to the comparative study of constitutions and constitutionalism, sharpening our understanding of the historical development, political parameters, epistemology, and methodologies of one of the most intellectually vibrant areas in contemporary legal scholarship.

In countries and supranational entities around the globe, constitutional reform has transferred an unprecedented amount of power from representative institutions to judiciaries. The constitutionalization of rights and the establishment of judicial review are widely believed to have benevolent and progressive origins, and significant redistributive, power-diffusing consequences. Ran Hirschl challenges this conventional wisdom. Drawing upon a comprehensive comparative inquiry into the political origins and legal consequences of the recent constitutional revolutions in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and South Africa, Hirschl shows that the trend toward constitutionalization is hardly driven by politicians' genuine commitment to democracy, social justice, or universal rights. Rather, it is best understood as the product of a strategic interplay among hegemonic yet threatened political elites, influential economic stakeholders, and judicial leaders. This self-interested coalition of legal innovators determines the timing, extent, and nature of constitutional reforms. Hirschl demonstrates that whereas judicial empowerment through constitutionalization has a limited impact on advancing progressive notions of distributive justice, it has a transformative effect on political discourse. The global trend toward juristocracy, Hirschl argues, is part of a broader process whereby political and economic elites, while they profess support for democracy and sustained development, attempt to insulate policymaking from the vicissitudes of democratic politics.

At the intersection of two sweeping global trends—the rise of popular support for principles of theocratic governance and the spread of constitutionalism and judicial review—a new legal order has emerged: constitutional theocracy. It enshrines religion and its interlocutors as “a” or “the” source of legislation, and at the same time adheres to core ideals and practices of modern constitutionalism. A unique hybrid of apparently conflicting worldviews, values, and interests, constitutional theocracies thus offer an ideal setting—a “living laboratory” as it were—for studying constitutional law as a form of politics by other means. In this book, Ran Hirschl undertakes a rigorous comparative analysis of religion-and-state jurisprudence from dozens of countries worldwide to explore the evolving role of constitutional law and courts in a non-secularist world.Counterintuitively, Hirschl argues that the constitutional enshrinement of religion is a rational, prudent strategy that allows opponents of theocratic governance to talk the religious talk without walking most of what they regard as theocracy’s unappealing, costly walk. Many of the jurisdictional, enforcement, and cooptation advantages that gave religious legal regimes an edge in the pre-modern era, are now aiding the modern state and its laws in its effort to contain religion. The “constitutional” in a constitutional theocracy thus fulfills the same restricting function it carries out in a constitutional democracy: it brings theocratic governance under check and assigns to constitutional law and courts the task of a bulwark against the threat of radical religion.

Constitutional identity has become one of the most important and hotly contested concepts in contemporary constitutional theory and practice. It has been repeatedly invoked in debates concerning EU integration, constitutional reform and revolution, and the spread of ethno-nationalist populism, democratic backsliding, and constitutional retrogression. Yet, the concept's precise foundations, meaning, scope, and dynamics of continuity and change remain somewhat unclear and under-explored. This contemporary and definitive volume aims to address this stark gap. Featuring some of the world's leading scholars of comparative constitutionalism, constitutional theory, and constitutional politics, this book provides a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind theoretical, comparative, normative, and empirical account of the concept of constitutional identity. It will be of great interest to scholars, students, jurists, and constitutional drafters alike.

The spread of state-centered constitutions and constitutionalism as a dominant branch of public law and a lingua franca of contemporary politics and policymaking is arguably one of the most significant developments in late twentieth and early twenty-first century governance. Yet, as we head into an age defined by planetary challenges, the current crisis of constitutional democracy provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the constitutional project. Drawing on an extensive interdisciplinary and comparative inquiry, this book highlights the stark disconnect between constitutionalism's statist foundations and the existential, planetary challenges we face as humanity: mass global migration, climate change, unequal access to essential natural resources, and radical technological transformation governed by unruly multinational corporations. Ran Hirschl's expert analysis exposes the questionable suitability of the dominant form of constitutionalism, and of contemporary state-based public law more generally, to lead us effectively into the planetary epoch.

Los estudios comparados se han posicionado como una nueva frontera de la academia en derecho constitucional, así como un aspecto importante de la adjudicación constitucional. Cada vez más juristas, académicos y constituyentes en el mundo aceptan la idea de que "todos somos comparatistas ahora". Sin embargo, a pesar de aquel tremendo reconocimiento, el aspecto "comparativo" como proyecto y método aún pennanece difuso e insuficientemente teorizado. Algunas preguntas fundamentales relativas al propósito y el significado preciso de la investigación constitucional comparada, al igual que la forma como debe emprenderse, rara vez se plantean y nunca se responden. En este libro innovador, Ran Hirschl enfrenta este vacío al trazar la historia intelectual y los fundamentos analíticos de la investigación constitucional comparada, explorando las diversas formas, objetivos y metodologías involucradas en el estudio de las constituciones de otros a lo largo de los tiempos. En resumen, el autor explora cómo y por qué la investigación constitucional comparada ha sido y debe ser utilizada por académicos y juristas de todo el orbe. Mediante la exploración profusa de distintas iniciativas constitucionales comparadas pasadas y presentes de todo el mundo, Hirschl nos enseña cómo la actitud de compromiso con las fuentes constitucionales ajenas refleja tensiones entre el particularismo y el universalismo, así como visiones encontradas respecto de quiénes "somos" como parte de una comunidad política. Al hacer uso de distintas perspectivas propias de la historia, la religión, la ciencia política, la teoría social y el derecho público, Hirschl aboga por un enfoque interdisciplinario del constitucionalismo comparado que sea metodológica y sustantivamente preferible a las simples explicaciones doctrinales. A juicio del autor, el futuro de los estudios constitucionales comparados depende del fortalecimiento de la interacción entre el derecho constitucional y las ciencias sociales, de la superación del abismo existente hasta ahora. Asuntos comparativos constituye una contribución única al estudio comparado de las constituciones y el constitucionalismo, al agudizar nuestro entendimiento de los desarrollos históricos y los aspectos políticos, epistemológicos y metodológicos de una de las áreas de estudio más dinámicas de la academia jurídica contemporánea.
