Cut through the political noise and join our experts in debating how and why constitutions matter in the world today, from the challenges of everyday life to the big questions of global politics. Hosted by the Institute of Legal and Constitutional Research, University of St Andrews.
The subject of this special episode, recorded live on the day after the 2020 USA elections, is the urgent question of ‘Constitutional Futures?'. Are we inevitably facing a series of - national, global - constitutional crises? Or can we turn our constitutional futures into something to look forward to? Join our panellists, drawn from the worlds of politics, law, business and academia, in thinking through the future of constitutionalism from the local to the global, via nation-state structures and beyond.
Discussants are Malik Dahlan (Principal of Institution Quraysh for Law & Policy and Professor of International Law and Public Policy, QMUL); Jim Gallagher (former Civil Servant, who headed the Scottish justice department and was the UK government’s most senior adviser on devolution and other constitutional issues); Stephen Gethins (former MP at Westminster and currently Professor of Practice in International Relations at the University of St Andrews); and Catherine Stihler (former Labour member of the European Parliament and Chief Executive Officer of Creative Commons). The panel is chaired by John Hudson (Professor of Legal History, University of St Andrews).
