Miként alkotmányozunk? (Az alkotmányozás módja összehasonlító szemszögből)
How Do We Make a New Constitution? (The Process of Constitution-Making in a Comparative Perspective)

Summary/Abstract: There is a big deficiency in the comparative political science concerning the empirical analysis of the constitution making processes. This essay is the first (theoretical) part of a comprehensive work which will undertake a comparative empirical analysis of certain constitution making procedures. It aims to determine the aspects and the method of a feasible comparative analysis. First of all a comparison should take into account the circumstances of the constitution making process (i.e.: the subject, the moment and the length of the process, the levels of the available informations for the constitution makers, the upstream and downstream constraints). On the other hand the different phases and characeristics of the process should be differentiated as well. As far as the researching method is concerned it will be stated that the actor-centered institutionalism could be the best way since it can achieve a balance between the two extrem positions of the behavioralism and the institutionalism.
