From the Director's Desk
This edition of The Leaflet highlights ideas at the intersection of thought and action in constitutionalism. You will discover a new article on the role of scholars in defending constitutional democracy. You will learn about a new book on the power of the people in constitutional change. And you will encounter a forthcoming book on courts as state-builders.

This week, the IFFC launches a new online course on The Future of Liberal Democracy: Global Dialogues with Leading Scholars, an effort to diagnose the current state of liberal democracy in the world and to look ahead to its future challenges and prospects. The course will feature sessions with Cora Chan (Hong Kong University), Gabor Halmai (European University Institute), Samuel Issacharoff (New York University), Bertil Oder (Koç University), Francisca Pou (ITAM), and Wojciech Sadurski (University of Sydney). Registration closes on Monday, July 20, at 4:00PM EDT (Toronto/New York City).

As always, I welcome your suggestions for collaborations and new programs.
