Bruce Arnold Ackerman (born 1943) is an American constitutional law scholar. He is a Sterling Professor at Yale Law School. In 2010, he was named by Foreign Policy magazine to its list of top global thinkers. Ackerman was also among the unranked bottom 40 in the 2020 Prospect list of the top 50 thinkers for the COVID-19 era: “[Defenders of liberal democracy] need to swot up on how constitutions can go wrong—and right. Bruce Ackerman, a Yale professor who’s just as informed on De Gaulle, Mandela and Wałesa as he is on America’s founders, is a sure guide. His ‘popular sovereignty initiative’ to rationalise the process for amending the US constitution could put principled reformers back on the front foot.”
