Description

Comparative constitutional scholarship takes a variety of forms – including theoretical, doctrinal and empirical variants. This book offers guidance for scholars at all career stages in engaging in each of these forms of scholarship.

The book shows how scholars can make rigorous yet realistic choices about the breadth of comparison, and their approach to case-selection, calibrated to their own comparative project and position within the field of comparative constitutional studies ('CCS'). Practical in tone and ambition, yet rich in theoretical and comparative examples and insights, the book offers an invitation to public law scholars globally to expand their comparative horizons; and a call to the field as a whole to give greater attention to theoretical and doctrinal scholarship, and single country, Southern and understudied jurisdictions.
