Opis

How can legal authority be explained beyond the sovereign state? Roughan argues that instances of transnational and international law, along with overlapping constitutional orders, should be regarded as having shared, interdependent, and relative authority.

Recenzje

The world around us changes, and with it, the explanatory and normative value of received theoretical effort. To undertake the complex work of conceptual revision that is needed when an assessment of that serviceability comes up short is a difficult endeavour. But to regard received resources with a conciliatory eye when doing so, resisting the urge to simplify and polarise in favour of moments of contact, concession, and conjunction, is a particular kind of achievement. Nicole Roughan's accomplishment in Authorities is that she delivers on all of these things. Erudite, carefully-argued, and beautifully written, the book is a genuine pleasure to read.
