Constitutional Patriotism

On April 8-9, 2006, LAPA held a workshop in Princeton to explore the idea of constitutional patriotism. Organized by Princeton politics professor Jan-Werner Müller and LAPA director Kim Lane Scheppele, the workshop was designed to go beyond Jürgen Habermas's conception of constitutional patriotism to understand whether identification with constitutional values could substitute for other forms of national (or nationalistic) attachment. We have included a table of contents here, but to get links to the abstracts and papers themselves, go to the January 2008 issue of I-Con, Volume 6, Number 1 at the I-Con website. If you are entering through a Princeton campus computer or through a Princeton-based VPN connection from off-campus, you will be able to access all articles because Princeton subscribes to the journal. If you are outside the Princeton environment, contact your local university library about whether your institution has access to the journal.
