‘The revised and expanded edition of the already valuable Handbook on Global Constitutionalism shows the continuing vigor and development of this no-longer “emerging” field of scholarship. New essays on postcolonial and feminist approaches to global constitutionalism extend the field in interesting directions, as do essays on constituent power and transnational litigation networks. Even those who have used the first edition will find much more to think about in this new one.’
