This panel features several authors from a new 26-chapter edited collection The Cambridge Handbook of Deliberative Constitutionalism (Ron Levy, Hoi Kong Graeme Orr and Jeff King, eds). Deliberative democratic theory emphasises the importance of informed and reflective discussion and persuasion in political decision-making. The theory has important implications for constitutionalism – and vice-versa – as constitutional laws increasingly shape and constrain political decisions. The full range of these implications has not been explored in the political and constitutional literatures to date. This unique Handbook seeks to establish the parameters of the field of Deliberative Constitutionalism which bridges deliberative democracy with constitutional theory and practice. Drawing on contributions from world-leading authors, this volume will serve as an international reference-point on deliberation as a foundational value in constitutional law. Each chapter explores aspects of an overarching question: How do judges, ordinary citizens, legislators or administrators deliberate about constitutional norms and how do the features of a constitution, such as human rights, the separation of powers and federalism, affect how democracies deliberate? Each panellist will discuss his/her chapter
