Modern Azerbaijani constitutional law as an axiological paradigm in global constitutionalism

Abstract

The doctrine of modern constitutional law in Azerbaijan holds significant importance as an axiological phenomenon within the global constitutional paradigm, influencing the development of the country’s legal system. However, despite its relevance, there is a noticeable research gap in the comprehensive evaluation of its scientific and methodological foundations, particularly regarding constitutional amendments and their practical implications. This study seeks to fill that gap by defining the scientific underpinnings of Azerbaijan’s constitutional law doctrine, offering a thorough evaluation of its constitutional bases, and analyzing relevant theories to assess their real-world applications. Both local and international experiences were examined, leading to a clearer understanding of the challenges and advancements in Azerbaijan's constitutional reforms. The research also scrutinizes constitutional amendments and associated normative legal acts, contributing valuable insights for future legal reforms. The implications of this study are profound, as it not only informs ongoing legal debates but also offers concrete recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of Azerbaijan’s constitutional framework, situating it within the broader context of world constitutionalism.
