Elgar Publishing has
announced the publication of Tom Ginsburg and Rosalind Dixon (eds), Comparative constitutional law (2012), part of their Research Handbooks in Comparative Law Series:
This landmark volume of specially commissioned, original
contributions by top international scholars organizes the issues and
controversies of the rich and rapidly maturing field of comparative
constitutional law.
Divided into sections on constitutional design and redesign,
identity, structure, individual rights and state duties, courts and
constitutional interpretation, this comprehensive volume covers dozens of
countries as well as a range of approaches to the boundaries of constitutional
law. While some chapters reference the text of legal instruments expressly
labeled constitutional, others focus on the idea of entrenchment or take a more
functional approach.
Challenging the current boundaries of the field, the
contributors offer diverse perspectives – cultural, historical and
institutional – as well as suggestions for future research. A unique and
enlightening volume, Comparative Constitutional Law is an essential resource
for students and scholars of the subject.
