Launch of Comparative Constitutional Studies

We are delighted to announce that the inaugural Volume 1, Issue 1 of the Comparative Constitutional Studies (CCS) is now available in print and online.

To celebrate the launch, we are pleased to confirm the first issue is currently free to read via Elgaronline.

The publication of this first issue of Comparative Constitutional Studies brings to life an idea germinated in conversations over many years between its editors and among colleagues in the global community of scholars of constitutional law. Viewing the world from the heart of the geographic south, we could see a dynamic and multi-disciplinary field that needed additional outlets for top-quality work, greater attention to discursive, interpretive, and analytical research methods and to less-studied regions and jurisdictions. Our journal aims to fill these gaps, although we realize this ambitious goal can be approached but slowly and with humility. Our cover image of the black swan (cygnus atratus), native to Australia and once presumed by Europeans not to exist, symbolizes this perspective and our ambition.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue!

Adrienne Stone and Lael K Weis, General Editors
