The last fifty years has seen a worldwide trend toward constitutional democracy. But can constitutionalism become truly global? Relying on historical examples of successfully implanted constitution regimes, ranging from the older experiences in the United States and France to the relatively recent one in Germany and Spain, Michel Rosenfeld sheds light on the range of conditions necessary for the emergence, continuity and adaptability of a viable constitutional identity - citizenship, nationalism, multiculturalism, and human rights are important examples. "Identity of the Constitutional Subject" is the first systematic analysis of the concept and will be of interest to students and scholars of law, political science, international relations and US politics.
