Latest Podcast: Modern Constitutionalism
A revisionist approach to constitutionalism  In November, we welcomed Professor Horst Dippel from Kassel University, Germany, to Oxford to deliver his lecture on 'The History of Modern Constitutionalism'.

The lecture forms the latest addition to our growing Podcast archive, which also features lectures from leading thinkers such as Cass Sunstein and Aharon Barak.
