Oxford
University Press is delighted to announce the launch of the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law (MPECCoL), a
new addition to the Oxford Constitutional Law family.
The
Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law offers a
global overview of constitutional law in a comparative context via
painstakingly researched articles, and was developed with constitutional
lawyers, academics, and students in mind. The online resource provides
seamless navigation between encyclopedia articles, linking to English versions
of the constitutional documents mentioned in articles and hosted on our Oxford
Constitutions of the World and US Constitutional Law products, as
well as through references from the Oxford Law Citator.
Developed
in partnership with the team of editors at the Max Planck Foundation for
International Peace and the Rule of Law, the Max Planck Encyclopedia of
Comparative Constitutional Law has launched with 70 articles from
more than 60 different authors, providing analytical coverage of
constitutional law topics in a comparative context. This will grow to include over
500 articles once fully established, linked by an intuitive subject and
keyword search functionality.
The articles define and
cover the underpinnings of state formation and constitutional law, as well as
analysing and explaining from a global comparative perspective a number of
foundational legal concepts, such as:
·
Human rights
·
Constitutional formation
·
Scope of state protections
·
The defining structures of governmental makeup
·
Types of legal structures and interactions within a
constitutional law system; and
·
Legal constitutional concepts that make up
constitutional law
The
Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law is
available on annual subscription to libraries, organizations, and institutions
worldwide. Pricing is based on the size and type of institution and the number
of users.
If your
readers/members are on the cutting edge of this field and would be interested
in reading about Oxford’s new online resource, please consider announcing or
reviewing it in your blog, newsletter, or journal.
