Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism

Welcome to the GCDC, a research centre dedicated to advancing knowledge of democratic governance, the rule of law, and constitutional resilience.

The Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism, based at the UCL Faculty of Laws, seeks to advance scholarly knowledge of democratic governance, the rule of law, and constitutionalism. As a research community with a global perspective, our key focus is understanding how to achieve constitutional resilience in electorally competitive political systems. We are currently supported by the Leverhulme Trust.
