The ICL-Journal is a quarterly published eJournal containing articles on recent developments in International Constitutional Law from researchers, scholars and other professionals. The idea to publish a quarterly eJournal was developed in the context of the NICLAS Summer School (New International Constitutional Law Approach - Summer school) which was held in Vienna in 2007 for the first time. The summer school's main aim is to analyse developments of the European Union in an International Constitutional Law perspective, primarily focusing on the aspects of democracy, governance and human rights. The International Constitutional Law-approach as a new legal perspective combines Constitutional law, public international law, European law and legal theory. The interrelations between different levels of multi-level constitutionalism (international level, European level and national level) are examined. The focus also lies on comparing different constitutional structures and the underlying constitutional concepts. The Online Journal will serve as a publishing platform both for the scientific results of the above mentioned Summer School as well as for other articles relating to International Constitutional Law. Besides putting the spotlight on constitutional developments in other countries and on supra- and international levels, the Vienna Online Journal on International Constitutional Law wants to be a window to Austrian Constitutional Law from the perspective of the English speaking world and has thus the objective of facilitating the reception of Austrian constitutional law in international legal studies. Since regular reports about Austrian constitutional legislation and jurisprudence are hardly available in foreign languages, the ICL-Journal wants to fill this gap by reporting on constitutional developments in Austria. For this purpose, every issue contains summaries of recent and relevant decisions of the Austrian Constitutional Court. Finally, book reviews provide an overview of new publications both in International Constitutional Law and Austrian public law. The Vienna Online Journal on International Constitutional Law is edited by a team of young Austrian researchers, who work at different Austrian universities, scientific institutes and public institutions. The Scientific Advisory Board of the ICL-Journal is composed of leading professors and lawyers in the field of constitutional law in Austria. In this first issue of the ICL-Journal you will find three papers, authored by lecturers of the NICLAS Summer School 2007. Walter van Gerven is dealing with ww6il-ornl6o Vo 1 /07 1 1/2007, 1
