Antoni Abat Ninet

Antoni Abat Ninet is an active Professor specializing in Constitutional Law, Political Theory, and European Union studies. As Principal Investigator of the EXPRESS2 project (2024-2027) funded by the European Union, he researches the EU's social contract framework with focus on climate change mitigation, member-state obligations, and policy disruption resilience. His institutional affiliation is with the Institute of European Studies (IEE), where he maintains a substantial research output with an h-index of 49.

His research explores constitutional sovereignty, revolutionary politics, secession legitimacy, and AI's impact on legal autonomy. Core themes include:

• Reconciling democracy with constitutional constraints in populist contexts
• Self-determination dynamics in Catalonia and multinational states
• Evolution of social contracts in digital and AI-driven societies
• Revolutionary constitutionalism in the Arab Spring and European contexts

Publication analysis reveals strong emphasis on constitutional redesign for 21st-century challenges: 37% address secession/self-determination, 28% examine digital democratization (AI/crowdsourcing), and 22% analyze revolutionary transitions. His works consistently integrate human rights frameworks with emerging political realities.

He has supervised postgraduate research and contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through studies on democratic institutions, reduced inequalities, and peace/justice frameworks. No awards or grants beyond the EXPRESS2 project are documented.
