The Triangular Constitution

Exploring the complexities of modern European constitutionalism, this book focuses on the Irish constitutional order to illustrate the interdependence of national constitutions, EU law, and the European Convention on Human Rights. It introduces a triangular model of constitutional relationships, challenging traditional hierarchical views by advocating for a heterarchical arrangement. Through case studies, it highlights the challenges of deriving universal principles from jurisdiction-specific interactions, making it a significant contribution to constitutional theory and pluralism for scholars.
