Abstract/Description:

The concept of global constitutionalism can serve as either a strategy for the selective reinforcement of the legal pillars of neoliberalism or a strategy for the reinforcement of a comprehensive catalogue of rights and policies of inter- and intra-generational equity. As an empty concept per se, it demands a critical approach to identify the concrete political choices it informs in each concrete situation.
