UCL Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism
ActiveDescription
The Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism, based at the UCL Faculty of Laws, seeks to advance scholarly knowledge of democratic governance, the rule of law, and constitutionalism. As a research community with a global perspective, our key focus is understanding how to achieve constitutional resilience in electorally competitive political systems. We run conferences, seminars, lectures, workshops, in addition to research projects across several research streams. We also host postdoctoral research fellows, PhD students, and visiting academics.
The Centre was founded in 2024 with support from a Leverhulme Trust International Professorship, and the former UCL Public Law Group has been integrated into it, its seminars continuing as the Public Law Seminar Series.
