This book critically assesses the structural and functional transformations in the Westphalian constitutional tradition produced by the emergence of supranational and global constitutionalism. In so doing it evaluates the theory of global constitutionalism its legal and socio-political limits and important issues concerning the supranational constitutionalism of the EU. This leads to an articulation of the constitutional theory of the emerging post-Westphalian constitutionalism examining its development during a period of significantly increased access to and sharing of information increased mobility and more open statehood as well as the rise of human rights and its encounter with populism and nationalism.
