The Panel "Constitutionalism and constitutional institutions" was part of the Constitutionalism and the Free Society Conference.
The panelists for the following discussion were:
Arash Abizadeh, “Counter-majoritarian democracy: Persistent minorities, federalism, and the power of numbers”;
Yasmin Dawood, “Effective Governance and the Two Faces of Constitutionalism” and
David Watkins, “Democratic constitutionalism and non-domination: state actors and the perils and promise of bureaucratic discretion”; it was chaired by Evan Fox- Decent.
This conference marks the conclusion of a three-year research project on "Constitutionalism as the political theory and political science of a free society" supported by a grant to RGCS from the Templeton Foundation. It marks both the 10th anniversary of RGCS (adjusting for the pandemic delays) and the 200th anniversary of McGill University.
