Constitutionalism: New Challenges: European Law from a Nordic Perspective

by Joakim Nergelius (Editor)

The impetus for this book came from a conference on recent developments in Nordic and German constitutional law that occurred in Berlin in 2002. The volume includes edited and updated versions of the majority of papers presented at the conference. Contents include theoretical perspectives, contemporary constitutional perspectives, and Nordic perspectives. The scholarship is high quality in its dealings with political and ideological developments in the Nordic states, Germany, and Europe. The book also offers more general aspects on recent developments in international constitutional theory. Many of the topics are of general interest, including discussion of constitutions and globalization and the European Union's constitutional project. A well-manufactured volume, this book was published by Brill. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
