About the Book
The twenty-first-century constitutional state faces a significant paradox. While democratic governments increasingly rely on technology in the exercise of public power, concerns regarding declining institutional trust, opacity, and weakening accountability continue to grow.
In this context, transparency has emerged as a foundational constitutional principle linked to democratic participation, public accountability, and the rule of law.
The proposed book seeks to examine the evolving relationship between information, constitutional governance, accountability, and democratic power across national and transnational contexts.
It explores how democratic societies can regulate informational power while preserving transparency, institutional legitimacy, and public trust.
Moving beyond a narrow doctrinal understanding, the book aims to develop a broader framework of informational constitutionalism, recognising access to information, institutional openness, accountability mechanisms, and democratic participation as central features of contemporary constitutional governance.
An edited book titled “Informational Constitutionalism and Democratic Accountability: Comparative and Global Perspectives”, to be published by EBH Publishers with an ISBN, invites original and high-quality chapter contributions.
