Digital Constitutionalism has become a widespread analytical framework and linguistic toolbox for studying digitization, particularly in Europe.

In the recently published Oxford Handbook on Digital Constitutionalism, I reflect on some of its discursive continuities with...
abstract: Eventually, many scholarly approaches that mix a descriptive programme with a normative agenda face a delicate question: what if the thing written about for years does not (fully) transpire? Today, public law is a crucial discursive reference point in international politics and global constitutionalism a widely known scholarly approach thereof. However, despite prevalent talk about constitutional principles in global governance, aspirations of a liberal world order gave way to confrontation, tribalism, and cynicism. Simply put, the promise of global constitutionalism has not fully materialized. So, what can digital constitutionalism, a new scholarly approach that mixes description with desire, learn from global constitutionalism? Apart from several already learned fundamentals, this chapter focuses on what digital constitutionalism might learn from global constitutionalism’s current moment of introspection. Concretely, the chapter presents four lessons, all of which build on critiques of global constitutionalism, which may be, in the future, relevant for digital constitutionalism as well. These lessons are: a stronger empirical footing, a broader focus that includes administrative dimensions, less constitutional metaphors, and more disciplinary and scholarly diversity.

Briefly escaped funding apps & bar exam prep to give a small class on admin perspectives on global law @CatolicaLisbon—more a reflective pause than anything bigger, but a good reminder (I hope) not to lose the global picture amid the domestic mess.

Thanks @Giovanni De Gregorio & students!

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Why Europe's Digital Reforms May Not Become A Global Standard

▶️ I think much of the DSA etc. stabilizes private ordering rather than introduces strict public regulation. The truly globalizing standards will be corporate-made rules - for better, or worse.

With all the stuff going on in the US, have a look at our editorial this week on @verfassungsblog.de.

We talked to activists & law professors in NY, PA & DC on what to expect in a second Trump term.
