The Seeds for this Collection
On 16 April 2016, a diverse and expert group of scholars gathered at the Yale Law School for a full-day symposium we hosted on ‘Founding Moments in Constitutionalism’. The purpose of the programme was to explore this phenomenon as it has occurred around the world across time and traditions.
Our sponsors for this programme were the Oscar M Ruebhausen Fund at Yale Law School and the Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women’s Rights. The symposium was structured around five panel discussions in which scholars presented their papers. Each panel was assigned a discussant and was divided into the following subjects: Theorizing Founding Moments; Understanding Founding Moments; Asia’s Founding Moments; Founding Moments in the Middle East; and Constitutional Identity and Founding Moments. From the beginning, the purpose of the symposium was to publish the papers in an edited volume. The papers were therefore prepared with this objective in mind and they appear in this volume as thoroughly revised chapters.
