Abstract
This chapter proposes constitutional conventions as a valuable conceptual lens for understanding modern constitutions and political systems. It provides a new theoretical engagement with the question of the nature of conventions; examines their provenance, development and application; investigates their efficacy in shaping, guiding and restraining the contours of politics; and, finally, shows their potential to reveal new insights into contemporary comparative constitutionalism.
