Mevhibe Ateş Graduate Essay Competition
In 2011, the theme of the competition is “the rule of law.” We invite scholarly papers on topics such as the relationship between legality and legitimacy, the role of constitution-making in consolidation of democracy, the emergence of constitutional courts in democratic countries, and the place of judicial review in democracies. All submissions must be based on original unpublished research, empirical or theoretical, and are expected to offer innovative, comparative perspectives.
