Comparative Constitutional Design

Abstract

This volume brings together essays by many of the leading scholars of comparative constitutional design from myriad disciplinary perspectives, including law, philosophy, political science, and economics. The authors collectively assess what we know – and don't know – about the design process as well as particular institutional choices concerning executive power, constitutional amendment processes, and many other issues. Bringing together positive and normative analysis, the volume provides the state of the art in a field of growing theoretical and practical importance. "The combination of theoretical and empirical essays will further develop comparative constitutional design as an important perspective and project within comparative constitutional studies."
