Constitutional Transplantations: The Diffusion and Adoption of Constitutional Ideas

Edited by Anat Scolnicov

Anat Scolnicov is Professor of Law at the University of Winchester, UK.

This book considers the global phenomenon of migration, transplantation, and borrowing of constitutional ideas. It combines conceptual and normative approaches, to dissect a phenomenon which has been both praised and maligned in current political and academic discourse.

It presents constitutional transplantation as a specific case of migration of ideas, and places it within that broader intellectual framework of movement of knowledge. The contributors analyse, from historical, conceptual, and normative angles, the transplantation of constitutions and constitutional ideas from one state to another, and the role played by existing cultures and histories in the reception of constitutional provisions and ideas.
