This comprehensive book offers conceptual, legal, and socio-legal insights into the relationship between constitutional traditions and constitutional transitions, as well as a comparative assessment of the two. It explores their impact on national constitutional orders and their implications for the multilevel constitutionalism of the EU.

Presenting extensive analysis of the role of constitutional traditions in the complex constitutional order of the EU, the book draws parallels between the conceptual arguments and the legal realist exploration of the judicial approach to constitutional traditions. Martin Belov and Monika Florczak-Wątor, along with their expert contributors, explore these transitory imaginaries as bridges between the constitutional past, present, and future, and expand on the fragility of arbitrary constitutional concepts in times of crisis and transition. The book addresses significant issues related to constitutional traditions and constitutional transitions in post-authoritarian societies by employing conceptual analysis, comparative research and case-studies.

Constitutional Traditions and Constitutional Transitions is an essential resource for academics and researchers in the fields of European law, comparative constitutional law and administrative law. This book is also beneficial for policymakers and practitioners.
Critical Acclaim
‘This collection of essays offers original interdisciplinary perspectives of core themes and problems related to the temporal dynamics between constitutional structures and agencies at both national and transnational level. Constitutional lawyers, political scholars and social scientists will find sophisticated conceptualisations and comparative analyses of different constitutional systems in transition, their historical, political and ideological context and often contingent ways of societal development. The volume includes detailed case studies offering invaluable information to anyone working in the fields of comparative constitutionalism, constitutional theory and interdisciplinary studies of constitutions.’
