Course Overview

Our LLM Constitutional Politics, Law and Theory (Intensive) considers the traditional neglect of constitutionalist approaches to politics in Britain - something that is now changing fast. This course focuses on two related, but distinct, processes: the crisis of law and the shift towards exceptional modes of state power; and the demand that law mitigates manifold crises. Questions are raised about law as a solution, about its role in the violent imposition of liberal social and market relations, and whether or not we may be able to imagine a different sort of crisis, a different relation between law and the future. This distinctive program adopts a critical, interdisciplinary approach and gives equal weight to theory and comparative case studies from across the world. Graduates go into careers in local or national governments, international organizations, research institutes, public interest advocacy, or political activism. Possible professions include constitutional law expert, higher education lecturer, Civil Service administrator, or human resources officer.
