Introduction to Constitutional Comparative Law:

How to read a foreign Constitution and make sense of it?



Pauline Trouillard


This seminar will introduce the Students to Comparative Public Law through a constitutional
approach. It will first present the theoretical principles of representative democracy to further
question how these principles are materialized by different constitutional systems (namely the
presidential and the parliamentary systems).





Pauline Trouillard



Through the examples of the Constitutions of a few representative countries, we will study how the
rules are designed to protect these principles.
