Constitutional Conventions in Central Europe

The project is focused on the research of constitutional conventions in Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary). The research integrates the approaches of political science and constitutional law. The project seeks to identify constitutional conventions in the region based on a conceptual framework which will be set up in the conceptual part of the project. The framework shall be mostly derived from the Anglo-Saxon literature. These constitutional conventions will be subject to analysis using various variables, such as the circumstances of their origin, “strength”, the importance for a given constitutional system, both in terms of their legal relevance and their impact on real functioning of individual constitutional institutions. The comparative part of the project will seek to compare constitutional conventions across the region in order to identify their similarities and differences as well as to assess the degree of importance the constitutional conventions play in each country.
