Legal transplant during democratic transition: The regional migration of a constitutional idea. The spread of qualified law in the central and Eastern European regions

Summary/Abstract: This academic contribution analyses the recent migration of a constitutional idea as a legal transplant in Central and Eastern Europe: the implementation of qualified law in several countries during their democratic transition. A cursory glance at the regional dimension of this constitutional instrument provides new insight into the role of qualified legislation during political transitions and leads to valuable experience regarding the migrationof constitutional ideas in Central and Eastern Europe. It is demonstrated how the external, mainly Western European examples influenced the constitutional development of this region, and how the new democratic frameworks inspired each other within Central and Eastern Europe.
