Opis

Reconstructing Rights will appeal to several audiences because of its deliberative-partnership thesis, including public law scholars for its social-scientific approach to the study of legal doctrine; legal scholars because it challenges broadly held commitments to judicial supremacy; and area-specialists for its cross-national investigation of equality rights.

Recenzje

'… Stohler provides a compelling argument for recognizing and understanding constitutional interpretation through the lens of deliberative partnerships. It is well-researched and well-written with a rich body of evidence that I strongly recommend for scholars and students in political science and law, particularly those concerned with questions of interbranch relationships, constitutional interpretation, and comparative studies.' Allyson C. Yankle, Law and Politics Book Review
