ABSTRACT
Although there is a long history of global interaction among peoples, empires, and colonies, the field was re-articulated as global and globalising after World War II and, with even more and widespread insistence, after the end of the Cold War. The contributors to Global Constitutionalism have been remarkably successful in initiating this kind of dialogue in the journal and the events, courses, and discussions that have grown around it. Global constitutionalism refers to the global field of diverse, formal, and informal assemblages of laws and governance, norms and actors that exhibit constitutional qualities. The institutions associated with global economic constitutionalism possess the authority to limit, restructure, or override the authority of democratically legitimate national constitutions and rule of law.
