This book achieves that rarest of intellectual feats - defining a field of study. The breadth of countries and the range of topics examined is impressive. Although each constitutional system has its own peculiarities, there is so much to learn from how other countries deal with similar problems. And this book provides a one-stop shop in which to learn those lessons.
