Summary/Abstract: The article explores the wide range of meanings that the notion „constitutionalization” has within national and international legal doctrine, touching upon the use of this concept within the state frame and within the international polities. Following a short terminological clarification, the article is looking upon two different stances where the concept of constitutionalization is used: first, within the national constitutional systems to define the process of making the entire legal system in accordance with the constitutional norms and second, beyond state, where the constitutional discourse migrated to accommodate various public international law based polities. This work is part of a larger research that the author is undergoing for his doctoral studies that will be concluded with the thesis „Legal protection of human rights as a vector for constitutionalization in Europe”.
