Rule of Law, Constitutionalism and Fundamental Principles 15 credits
About the course
The course describes, analyses, and critically discusses key concepts and issues necessary to understand constitutional law as a national and international legal phenomenon, as well as the rule of law as a principle in relation to the exercise of public power. The course addresses inter alia, historical phases of constitutional development, fundamental principles of constitutional law, and the relationship between constitutionalism and democracy, as well as current and emerging challenges to constitutionalism and the rule of law. The course approaches the issues from primarily a European perspective of multi-layer constitutionalism, using recent legal developments and scholarly debate as a point of departure for further analysis.
