Edited by Gary Jacobsohn, Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin and Miguel Schor, Drake University Law School, US<i>'Masterfully curated by Gary Jacobsohn and Miguel Schor, this unique collection features new essays by many of the most insightful comparative constitutional scholars writing today. </i>Comparative Constitutional Theory<i> advances our understanding of how people living in different political settings conceptualize and address constitutional dilemmas that are common to most modern political systems. It is a handbook that every serious student of comparative constitutionalism should read.' </i><br /> --Ran Hirschl, University of Toronto, Canada
The authors use a variety of theoretical perspectives to explore the diversity of global constitutional experience in a post-1989 world prominently marked by momentous transitions from authoritarianism to democracy, by multiple constitutional revolutions and devolutions, by the increased penetration of international law into national jurisdictions, and by the enhancement of supra-national institutions of governance.
Scholars around the globe will be interested in this book's unique discussion of comparative constitutional theory, and students and college professors will appreciate the accessibility of the chapters and the placement of the United States in comparative focus.
