Centres and Forums

CGC – Centre for Global Constitutionalism (http://cgc.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk)

The Centre for Global Constitutionalism (CGC) provides an institutional home for the exploration of constitutionalism at the national, regional, and global levels. The Centre’s programmes, projects, and people are oriented toward the clarification and consolidation of constitutionalism as a political project.

The Centre grew out of previously existing programmes at the University of St Andrews – notably the Rethinking the Rules project and the Wilson Programme in Constitutional Studies. These programmes have been combined into a single Centre designed to house various initiatives and bring together scholars and policy analysts from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, to expand its regional and conceptual range. The Centre draws upon expertise in the disciplines of law, history, international relations, philosophy, regional studies and religion, making it a site for interdisciplinary work focused on the diverse ways in which constitutionalism shapes the global political order.

The Forum for British and Irish Political Thought

The Forum for British and Irish Political Thought aims to bring together those interested in the British and Irish Questions from across these islands, from academia and politics, and from across a range of disciplines. The Forum seeks both to inform public debate and to provide expert analysis to policy makers who are faced in the case of the British and Irish Questions with issues deep-rooted in the historical past, well beyond the normal expertise of the political classes, whose horizons are inevitably present- and future-oriented.

The Forum seeks to facilitate engagement between academics and other interested parties, including politicians, civil servants, and think tanks. The Forum is non-partisan. Its membership includes unionists and nationalists, from inside and outside the United Kingdom, and does not pursue any party line.
