Book Description
Some of the chapters focus on the pathways, risks and side-effects of legal-constitutional transfers in specific situations, such as postcolonial societies and occupied territories. Others follow law beyond the official arenas into systems of legal pluralism, while others analyze how experimentalism generates hybrid constitutional orders.
This interdisciplinary, multi-jurisdictional study will appeal to researchers, academics and advanced students in the fields of comparative constitutional law, comparative law and legal theory.

Editorial Reviews
Review
–Pier Giueseppe Monateri, University of Turin, Italy
‘Frankenberg’s work gives a new insight of what comparative law can be in the context of globalization, representing an outstanding achievement. His theory of ”transfer” supersedes the metaphors of mainstream scholarship, displaying that constitutions are not mere ”commodities” or items to be assembled. The real matter is rather, which ”meanings” are generated through transfer. In this way, beyond any usual flat version, we may perceive that any ”constitutional relocation” exhibits a reappraisal of the whole world we live in.’
