Böcker av Ran Hirschl

"Featuring key scholars of comparative constitutionalism, constitutional theory, and constitutional politics, this book provides a comprehensive, theoretical, comparative, normative, and empirical account of the concept of constitutional identity. It will appeal to scholars, students, jurists, and constitutional drafters alike"--

Presents a comparative analysis of religion-and-state jurisprudence from dozens of countries worldwide to explore the role of constitutional law and courts in a non-secularist world.

Drawing on a comparative inquiry into the political origins and legal consequences of recent constitutional revolutions in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and South Africa, Hirschl shows that the trend toward constitutionalization is best understood as the product of strategic interplay among hegemonic yet threatened economic and political elites.
