I am happy to share the article “Constraining Constitution-Making”, co-authored by @adamschilton, David Landau, @VersteegMila, and myself, which was recently published by the Journal of Law and Empirical Analysis. 1/5
We find that while public opinion may not always enforce these constraints, political parties—even when in a weaker position, as in Chile’s Constitutional Convention—will often play a vital role in ensuring compliance when there are attempts to disregard them. 4/5
Introducing the 2024 cohort of Knight-Hennessy scholars!
The 90 students are from 30 countries and are pursuing degrees in 45 graduate programs across all seven of @Stanford’s graduate schools. (1/3) https://t.co/gXJtQogiXy
@adamschilton, @ceyza91, and @VersteegMila develop the "social rights scapegoat" idea to problematize the promises made to advancing social rights during the constitution-making process. https://t.co/yJ8vnUjcqw . 9/13
We invited a group of Chilean and non-Chilean pol scientists and const scholars to explain the failure, examine different dimensions of it, and infer lessons using a comparative perspective. The contributions are now published in a symposium I coedited with @leugeniogh. 2/13
Chilean voters rejected the Constitutional Convention's proposal in 2022. A new attempt at replacing Chile's constitution will be tested in December 2023. @leugeniogh (@cepchile) and I teamed up with the @GlobConJournal and developed a project to understand the 2022 failure. 1/13
Excited to share that the paper "Social Rights Scapegoating" co-authored by @adamschilton, @VersteegMila, and myself, has been published in @GlobConJournal.
In it, we empirically challenge the notion that limited social rights in Chile's constitution are to blame for inequality.

🇺🇸 Happy 235th birthday to the US Constitution! 🎂
The Constitution is old and in need of reform. Three groups of scholars have rewritten the US Constitution to reflect three political perspectives: Libertarian, Progressive, and Conservative.
