A Note from the Conference Convenor

The article presents a perspective on the issue of privacy in Eastern Europe. It implies that privacy was unprotected and is highly complicated under the conditions of postcommunism. It explains that distortion of the public sphere such as lack of transparency, skewed and monopolized public distortion are aggravated by attempts of penetrating into privacy in the name of public community values. A systematic discussion by the Social Research Privacy conference held at Central European University on March 23-24, 2001 helped clarify certain crucial policy-relevant issues such as providing civic education for the development of a more responsive citizenry, data protection and access to information and citing the limits and responsibilities of journalism.

Constitutional Law in Twenty Years from Now

The principles of constitutional law as those of many other disciplines seem to develop and to be replaced by new paradigms in the light of globalization. The present article using the genre of constitutional futurology attempts to determine whether this change is real or an illusory impression, and to predict the future of constitutional law and of scholarship reflecting on constitutional issues. A mighty forecast emerges from the interplay of opposing forces. While the withering away of the constitutionalist paradigm is unlikely partly because of the lack of a new generation of legal scholars following new patterns of thinking, partly because there is no reason to assume that the prevalent socioeconomic order would cease to exist , the essay maps a number of possible challenges like genetic engineering or personal computers interconnected in the World Wide Web , which constitutionalists shall expect to face in theory and in practice alike.
