Assistant Professor of Political Science, Columbia University, New York
Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften: June/July 2015 Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften: »Europe's Functional Constitution. A Theory of Constitutionalism Beyond the State« Project outline: Constitutionalism has become a byword for legitimate government, but is it fated to lose its relevance as constitutional states relinquish power to international institutions? During my stay at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften, I will be completing a book manuscript addressing the question of whether constitutionalism can be adapted to international institutions by surveying the sophisticated legal system of the European Union. I will argue that insofar as it constrains the exercise of popular self-rule in favor of effective government, economic prosperity, and technocratic competence, the EU embodies a system of functional constitutionalism. Although the EU is the most advanced instance of functional constitutionalism to date, this book will contend that this distinctive, pragmatic mode of constitutional authority is essential for understanding and critically assessing the exercise of public power by international economic institutions. Europe's Functional Constitutionalism. A Theory of Constitutionalism Beyond the State is scheduled to appear under the Oxford University Press Constitutional Theory Series.
