Editorial Team | Verfassungsblog

Verfassungsblog is a journalistic and academic forum of debate on topical events and developments in constitutional law and politics in Germany, the emerging European constitutional space and beyond. It sees itself as an interface between the academic expert discourse on the one hand and the political public sphere on the other. The blog has been founded in 2009 by Maximilian Steinbeis, a legal journalist and writer. The work of Verfassungblog is supported by two strong institutional partners: the Center for Global Constitutionalism at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center and the Law in Context research network at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin - Institute of Advance Study. Additionally, Verfassungsblog cooperates with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (MPIL) in Heidelberg and the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague in organizing online symposia. So far more than 500 authors from all over the world have published articles and debate contributions on Verfassungsblog. If you wish to submit an article for publication please consider our hints for authors and send an email to the editor: info [at] verfassungsblog [dot] de
