TL;DR: A theory of the material context of constitutional order is proposed in this paper, where the authors outline the basic elements of a material constitution, specifying its four ordering forces: political unity, the dominant form of which remains the modern nation-state, a set of institutions, including but not limited to formal governmental branches such as courts, parliaments, executives, administrations, a network of social relations, including class interests and social movements, and fundamental political objectives (or teloi).

TL;DR: The existential threat to the European Union is presented here in constitutional terms, with crisis heralding a reconstitution of Europe's political form as mentioned in this paper. But the existential threat is not limited to the immediate economic crisis of the Eurozone, but also to political and cultural crises associated with the rise of right-wing populism and reaction to the perceived failure of state multi-culturalism.

TL;DR: The current crisis in Europe recalls the theory and practice of authoritarian liberalism, the idea that in order to protect economic liberalism and respect for fiscal discipline, representative democracy must be curtailed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Dewey as discussed by the authors suggests replacing the politics of liberal individualism and the huge inequalities it generates with those of the scientific community of enquiry and in particular its ethos of experimentation and co-operation.

TL;DR: Constitutionalism Beyond Liberalism as mentioned in this paper uses the constitutional experience of countries in the global South - China, India, South Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia - to transcend the liberal conceptions of constitutionalism that currently dominate contemporary comparative constitutional discourse.
