The Declining Influence of the United States Constitution

Mila Versteeg and I have just posted to SSRN a paper that might be of interest to readers of this blog entitled "The Declining Influence of the United States Constitution". It follows up on an earlier article, imminently forthcoming in the California Law Review, in which we took a very bird's eye view of the evolution and ideology of global constitutionalism. This time, we zoom in and take an empirical look at whether constitution-makers in other countries (still) emulate the U.S. Constitution. (The title of the paper offers a hint as to what we conclude.) We also look for evidence that international or regional human rights instruments have influenced the way in which national constitutions are written, but the evidence is underwhelming.
