About the Conference

Given the context of the functions that the Constitutions are mandated to perform, they are meant to be living documents. The idea is also supported by the fact that the societies which the Constitutions govern are dynamic in nature and, therefore, subject to constant change. Comparative Constitutional Law as a discipline provides different avenues for a better understanding and solutions to these changes and consequent issues. The changing dimensions of globalized societies and the emergent issues have time and again posed many questions about the very role and place of the Constitutions. Consequently, contemporary issues have opened new avenues for future discourse in some of the most foundational areas; it is where the role of comparison between constitutions becomes relevant and important.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to deliberate on some aspects concerning its role in today’s social and legal scenario and how the best results can be achieved with the tool of comparison. Considering it to be an area of utmost importance, this International Conference aims to provide a platform for all scholarly minds to share their ideas and new approaches to entertain the questions relating to contemporary constitutional issues around the globe. At the same time, the Conference will bring out exceptional scholarship to show light on the future discourse of Comparative Constitutional Law.
