“I saw the need to create new interpretative frameworks”: Guillaume Tusseau on Comparative Constitutional Litigation

In this article originally published in Cogito, Sciences Po’s research magazine, Guillaume Tusseau, researcher and professor at Sciences Po’s Law School, discusses his most recent book Comparative constitutional litigation. A critical introduction to constitutional procedural law.

In this far-reaching, comparative study of the implementation of constitutions on a global level, Tusseau uses a litigation perspective to analyse constitutionalism—the practice of using a constitution to structure political power—in every region of the world.

From the link between the political sphere and constitutional courts to the complex interactions between constitutional mechanisms and authoritarian regimes, Guillaume Tusseau provides a peak into the complexity of contemporary rule of law.
