Global constitutionalism and the rule of law

Mattias Kumm

Chapter 20 in Handbook on Global Constitutionalism, 2023, pp 294-307 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter sets out a set of distinctions concerning the rule of law, differentiating it from the rule by law and the rule of persons. It then goes on to connect the rule of law with legitimate authority, in particular the authority of law. It then goes on to explore how the rule of law can function at the global level, particularly how it relates to practices of global constitutionalism. It concludes by addressing a series of challenges that can be raised in relation to this idea.
