This volume examines the impact and salience of language in the field of comparative constitutional law. It addresses the epistemological and conceptual implications of English as the lingua franca and the related global influence of Anglophone jurisdictions in orienting the discourse. It does this through the identification of concepts, designs and ideas that warrant engagement and exploration also outside of those origin jurisdictions. In doing so, the volume underscores that language is not a neutral device but can produce hegemonic pressures and expectations.
