International Constitutional Law
- International Constitutional Law
International Constitutional Law (ICL) represents a paradigm shift away from the General Theory of Law and State (Allgemeine Staatslehre) to research on constitutions in general, thereby transcending state frontiers regarding both regional and international organizations. International Constitutional Law in its role as legal discipline combines aspects of constitutional law, public international law, European law and legal theory.
International Constitutional Law is based on a broader understanding of constitutional law. Constitutional Law in an ICL perspective integrates also fundamental international or European treaties as constitutional law. In federal state also subnational constitutions can be identified. Within this multi-level approach of constitutional law there exists various relations between these constitutions (network of constitution law)
