Constitutional systems across
the globe are under increasing strain as they grapple with the rise of
nationalist movements, creeping authoritarianism, consolidation and
centralization of power, erosion of constitutional rights and decreasing
protections for free speech and media rights, systemic corruption and
malgovernance, and a broader inability to address and protect social rights,
inequality, and human rights. In response, constitutional courts and lower
courts have emerged as key sites of contestation by opposition political
elites, social movements, and other legal and political actors. This panel will
explore current themes and topics related to the significant role of courts in
global constitutional governance including constitutional adjudication of major
political disputes involving separation of powers, federalism, elections and
democratic governance, free speech, constitutional and social rights, and
environmental policy and development. The panel will explore the evolving role
constitutional courts play globally in advancing constitutionalism, rights,
equality, and other structural principles and values. A virtual business meeting was held prior to the Annual Meeting.
