International Journal of Constitutional and Administrative Law

About the Journal

The International Journal of Constitutional and Administrative Law (IJCAL) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing high-quality scholarship in constitutional law and administrative law, with particular attention to comparative public-law developments in the Global South. The journal provides a forum for original research articles, conceptual papers, and comparative studies that examine how constitutional and administrative institutions shape governance, accountability, democratic legitimacy, and rights protection in emerging, transitional, and postcolonial legal systems.

IJCAL places particular emphasis on the continuing normative relevance of the Bandung Principles as a source of constitutional values relating to sovereignty, equality, anti-colonialism, solidarity, social justice, and public responsibility. The journal welcomes submissions on constitutional change, constitutional identity, constitutional adjudication, democracy, constitutional rights, limitations on state power, administrative justice, bureaucratic accountability, institutional design, public governance, legal reform, and comparative constitutional and administrative law in the Global South, while prioritising scholarship that demonstrates clear novelty and meaningful contributions to contemporary debates in constitutional and administrative law.
