Opis

Constitutions are no longer exclusively national projects, but increasingly result from broader transnational processes that form a transnational legal order.

Recenzje

'Readers will emerge with a new understanding of how constitutions are made and remade. The authors disrupt the central claim in constitutional theory that constitutions are autochthonous creations reflecting purely national values and expressing local views. This book should become a focal point of reference in studies of constitution-making and constitutional change.' Richard Albert, William Stamps Farish Professor of Law, University of Texas, Austin
