For the past two years, LuĂs Roberto Barroso and I have published the International Review of Constitutional Reform. The IRCR is the first scholarly effort to gather country reports--written by scholars and judges--on all forms of constitutional revision around the world over the past year. The 2020 edition was the first installment in this annual book. We released the 2021 edition last month. If you are interested in writing a country report for the 2022 edition, please register your interest here. Invitations will be made on a rolling basis.
