About this book
Constitutional law in the world is characterized both by the emergence of universal principles and the consolidation of regional particularities due to specific cultural orientations, historical factors and political impact. In the last decades, constitutional law has undergone profound changes; traditional concepts which seemed to be firmly established have proven to be no longer appropriate for the new developments which are characterized by growing internationalization, dynamic transfers of legal ideas by a manifold transnational “dialogue”, integration processes, and new challenges resulting from technological progress.
