«'We have entered the golden age of comparative constitutionalism. The digital revolution has made foreign legal sources more easily accessible, modern advances in transportation have made the world smaller, and scholarly collaborations across borders have pushed the boundaries of our knowledge. And yet many fundamental questions in comparative constitutionalism remain contested or even unanswered: how to compare, what to compare, and more importantly why to compare? Masterman and Schütze have assembled an all-star team of leading authorities in the study of constitutionalism to guide both experienced scholars and new students through the most important inquiries in the field. The future of public law is comparative, and this outstanding volume will be an invaluable resource for understanding the stakes and challenges that await.'
