An Invitation

The concluding chapter in this book doubles as an invitation for further research and writing on the phenomenon of a founding moment. The phenomenon invites inquiry from a multiplicity of perspectives, including comparative, doctrinal, historical or theoretical.

In this volume, the authors collectively survey many juris­dictions ranging from Brazil to the US, Israel to Pakistan, Australia to Hong Kong, Canada to Singapore, and Iraq to Taiwan. There is great breadth in this list, but there remain jurisdictions that could be mined for insights into what a found­ing moment entails and what follows from it - and these unstudied jurisdictions are worth studying both to examine the rich diversity of experiences in constitu­tionalism around the world and also to deepen our understanding of founding moments as they occur through popular movements, judicial decisions or polit­ical agreement. We stand to learn a great deal from expanding the universe of jurisdictional coverage and from identifying the many different types of founding moments identifiable around the world, both historically and in our modern times. We invite you to join us in analysing the phenomenon of a founding moment and we look forward to reading your findings.
