Abstract
Fragmentation, verticalization, and constitutionalization form the holy trinity of international legal debate in the early 21st century such is the opening phrase of Jan Klabbers’s first chapter in his co-authored book, The Constitutionalization of International Law. Although Klabbers possibly did not intend it, by invoking the holy trinity, he is calling attention to an important aspect of the contemporary constitutionalist debate, namely what I would like to describe as the faith in constitutionalism as a secular religion. It is from this perspective the complete and unquestioning belief in constitutionalism that I will explore global constitutionalism and the three books that are the object of this review. © 2011, Foundation of the Leiden Journal of International Law.
