Research Seminar in Sociology of Law: Imperialism and Constitutional Law

18 december 2024 13:15 till 15:00 | Seminarium

The Sociology of Law Department arranges research seminars inviting local and international social scientists to present state-of-the-art research within various areas of law and society.

 

 

This seminar will discuss, in broad terms, how the social effects of imperialism have formed constitutional law. It addresses the formation of constitutional law in a series of settings, historical and contemporary, to explain how (a) constitutional law was traditionally forged because of military needs; (b) up to 1945, constitutions tended to reproduce imperialist policies in domestic societies; (c) changing patterns of constitutional law have been decisively shaped by international security architectures, linked to the transformation of imperialism; (d) the traditional imperialist emphasis of constitutional law is currently re-appearing in new form.

Professor Chris Thornhill is an interdisciplinary researcher with research interests in the sociology of law, comparative constitutional law and legal theory. He has published a number of books on the sociology of constitutions, as well as many works on law and philosophy and law and social theory. He has received funding from the European Research Council (Advanced Grant); the AHRC; the Swedish Research Council (international collaboration grant); the Norwegian Research Council.
