{"title":"Unsexing citation: Closing the gender gap in global public law","authors":"Rosalind Dixon, Mila Versteeg","doi":"10.1093/icon/moad035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/icon/moad035","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Gender equality matters in the global public law academy for at least three reasons: the production of diverse scholarship, and substantive equality of opportunity for, and the equal exercise of social power by, female-identifying scholars. And while the global public law academy is in many ways becoming more diverse and inclusive, a great deal of work remains to be done to achieve true gender equality, especially after COVID-19, given its impact on geographic and gender (in)equality. In this article, we examine one important dimension to gender equality in the global public law academy: the degree to which articles by female-identifying scholars are cited at rates comparable to those authored by male-identifying scholars. To do so, we construct a unique database of articles published and cited within I•CON itself and use a variety of empirical techniques to analyze this data. Doing so, we find a clear pattern of gendered citation in global public law: while 37% of I•CON articles are authored by at least one female, only 25% of citations include at least one female author. We explore a variety of gendered and non-gendered explanations for the pattern. Perhaps our most striking finding is that male-author teams cite female authors at lower rates than author teams that have at least one female author, an effect that persists even when we account for self-citation, time trends, and the reputation of the cited authors. Notably, female authors cite female scholars at about the same rate as which they are published; the gender citation gap appears to be driven by the citation practices of male scholars alone. This finding suggests that implicit bias in citation, especially by male authors, cannot be ruled out. We therefore explore potential gender-conscious responses to the phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":51599,"journal":{"name":"Icon-International Journal of Constitutional Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48105388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The untold leader of judicial review: China’s Constitutional Court (1948–71) and innovative constitutionalism","authors":"Zhaoxin Jiang","doi":"10.1093/icon/moad044","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/icon/moad044","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Based on newly opened Chinese diaries of Chiang Kai-shek and presidents of the Judicial Yuan, this article explores China’s Constitutional Court from a socio-historical perspective and contextualizes China’s constitutional development from the mainland to Taiwan by 1971, when the United Nations delegitimized the Chiang Kai-shek regime as a lawful representative of China. This article argues that China’s insistence on legal exceptionalism and the fact that China became a victor state after the two world wars facilitated the institutionalization of the Constitutional Court. Due to the judicial leadership and their effective interactions with the political leader, China’s Constitutional Court survived and led a second wave of global expansion of judicial power around the mid-twentieth century. The survival of China’s Constitutional Court gave life to the oldest constitutional court that endured an authoritarian regime longer than the entire post-1989 era. It therefore provides a unique case for the survival of post-democratization constitutional courts in the twenty-first century. However, China’s Constitutional Court has never been properly accredited, not to mention as a leader of the second wave of judicial review. This article fills the gap and posits the survival of the Constitutional Court as a new thesis in comparative constitutional law. Among others, factors including peaceful constitutional revolution, victor-state’s legal exceptionalism, guardian of the Constitutional Court, strong meritocratic judicial leadership and the judicial personal interactions with charismatic political leadership combine to produce a series of constitutional innovations that have safeguarded the survival of China’s Constitutional Court, and thus contributed to creating an exceptional paradigm of judicial review and global constitutional improvement.","PeriodicalId":51599,"journal":{"name":"Icon-International Journal of Constitutional Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43230247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noting how contested the landscape of human rights has been in Africa, it demonstrates how the human rights of lesbians, gays, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex persons or sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQI+) are excluded from protection as a result of what are described as three interconnected predispositions. These predispositions are postcolonial, cultural, and religious tendencies within many African countries which adopt “othering” narratives that justify, and even sacralize, discrimination or violence based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The article analyzes the rights-based arguments—the appropriation of human rights language—used by anti-gay advocates in Africa, which emphasize rights to religion, culture, and family and exclude or deny the rights of LGBTQI+ people. This presentation of a human rights corpus and discourse which excludes LGBTQI+ rights, and which circulates both within and outside Africa, relies on alliances with the US Christian Right, and with the Vatican and Islamic leaders, to oppose sexual rights, and is often deployed by African politicians to retain political power. The article concludes by exploring the concept of ubuntu as a potential alternative to or as an accompaniment to human rights language, as a way of vernacularizing and Africanizing LGBTQI+ rights.","PeriodicalId":51599,"journal":{"name":"Icon-International Journal of Constitutional Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43810466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
