Transnational Evaluation of Constitutions:

Through the Prism of Human Rights and International Law

Ali Shirvani

This book provides a hypothetical classification of constitutions through international law and human rights values used in any constitution, which draws connections between the inclusive standards of international law and human rights contained in the constitutions. Consequently, an evaluation method will be available for users to rank any constitution potentiality of analysis for grounds of any commitment and responsibility of the states concerning international law and human rights.

"This important study uses novel quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the relationship between constitutional and international law. It is a significant contribution to the literature, and pushes us further toward rigorous analysis of transnational legal regimes." - Tom Ginsburg Professor of Political Science, Chicago Law School.

Ali Shirvani is currently an associate professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies of Xi'an International Studies University and a non-resident fellow at the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), P. R. China.
