Democracy at Risk and Global Constitutionalism in the Multipolar Era

Chairs

This workshop invites scholars to debate the challenges facing constitutionalism in a world increasingly shaped by systemic risks, including disinformation, democratic erosion, hybrid warfare, and the transition to a multipolar order.

We welcome contributions that examine how constitutional frameworks respond—or fail to respond—to contemporary crises, as well as the alternatives emerging from the Global South, particularly within the BRICS⁺ framework, that seek to redefine legitimacy, rights, and sovereignty in contexts of global instability.
