Constitutionalism in the Digital Age
Recent decades have seen rapid digital transformations affecting individuals’ daily lives, as well as the structures and operations of governments and businesses. These changes have spurred the emergence of new regulatory frameworks that transcend national borders—what we might call societal constitutional domains or constitutional fragments. The Internet, in particular, has become a vital social space, generating its own constitutional orders—rights, duties, and limits on power—outside traditional state structures. Building on this premise, the course explores how digital transformation gives rise to new constitutional challenges. First, we examine what it means to have a “constitution” in the digital age, and how constitutional norms operate in a global, digital society. Second, we reflect on the ethical and normative dimensions of these societal transformations. Third, we investigate specific domains where digital constitutional norms are emerging, such as the regulation of speech, misinformation, cybersecurity, data protection, and intellectual property rights.
