Dr Ming-Sung Kuo joined Warwick Law School as an assistant professor in 2010. His research interests are in the fields of constitutional and legal theory, comparative constitutional law (including USA, Europe, and East Asia), administrative law and regulatory theory, and public international law. His recent scholarship has been focused on the issues of legitimacy in relation to the rise of transnational legal orders and the changing relationship between normalcy and exception in the tendency toward what he terms constitutional presentism in contemporary constitutional developments. He has also written on global constitutionalism and global administrative law (with emphasis on transnational governance and postnational legality), European constitutionalism and integration, and the role of judicial review and its bootstrapping in the context of Taiwan's democratic transition. Dr Kuo's publications have appeared in the leading law journals in his fields, including Modern Law Review, International Journal of Constitutional Law, European Journal of International Law, Ratio Juris, and Oxford Journal of Legal Studies.
