@danschindler.bsky.social, Michael Riegner, and I have co-edited a special issue for World Comparative Law / VRÜ on the theme of Public Law and Political Oppositions.

The symposium examines how law frames, enables, and constrains political opposition across different constitutional settings.

Interested in The Rule of Law, Multi-layered Human Rights Protection and Constitutional Resilience?

Then this conference might be worth looking at. The deadline for the CFP is 4th June 2025.

My latest piece in the European Constitutional Law Review (@euconst.bsky.social) which makes a case for politicising appointments to constitutional courts in times when less politics in everything seems to be the norm.

A forthcoming paper of mine in @euconst.bsky.social that makes a rather radical case for politicising appointments to Constitutional Courts in Europe in times when less politics and more technocracy seems to be the norm.

My latest piece in Global Constitutionalism. While it contributes to a somewhat niche debate, it might interest you if you are keen on the debates on the Basic Structure Doctrine or the Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments Doctrine.

The second is an entry on Afghanistan for Judge Barrosa and Richard Albert's International Review of Constitutional Reform that four of my students and I wrote together. Perhaps a follow-up read to the above chapter on newer developments.

Two new works on Afghanistan — a jurisdiction I have become really interested in over the last couple of years:

The first is a chapter I wrote on Prospects For The Rule of Law under The Taliban for Judge Marek Safjan's edited volume on the Rule of Law.
