Constitutional Studies

Constitutional Studies is an international journal publishing work on the theory and practice of constitutional government around the world. The journal engages scholars from diverse geographic and topical research areas to expand our collective understanding of constitutional democracy, formal and informal constitutional systems, constitutional jurisprudence, and related subjects in comparative constitutional studies. Constitutional Studies is published by the Comparative Constitutions Project and the International Association of Constitutional Law twice annually in June and December. The journal is multilingual, with two ways for authors to submit their work in multiple languages. First, authors may submit their manuscripts in English, French, or Spanish, proceeding through all stages of the editorial, peer review, and publishing process in that language. We plan to expand our manuscript submission platform as soon as possible to also accept submissions in Arabic, Mandarin, and Russian. Second, authors may submit their manuscript in both English and a language other than the journal's six core languages, but it must be one of the 31 languages spoken by members of our Editorial Team. These include: Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Catalan, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Georgian, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mandarin, Montenegrin, Norwegian, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. In this case, the manuscript will go through the review process in English but will be published in both languages. Constitutional Studies is entirely open access. We do not charge any fees for authors to publish their work or for readers to access their work. This reflects our aim for the journal to be an accessible, pathbreaking new multilingual forum for sharing research and experience across a global community of constitutional scholars and practitioners.
