Event Details
Far from being an abstraction and theoretic construct for legal scholars, constitutional design is a current topic of hot public policy debate in Egypt, Japan, Catalonia, India, Tunesia, Scotland, Iceland, and even China with profound ramifications for the business sector. Professor Ginsburg will address how these issues impact national economies and their implications for US companies.
