Hans Kelsen

General Theory of Law and State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

General Theory of Law and State is divided into two parts: the first devoted to law, the second to the state. Together these topics constitute the most systematic and comprehensive exposition of Kelsens jurisprudence. The volume is not only a compendium of Kelsens lifework; it is also an extension of his theories to embrace the problems and institutions of English and American law as well as those of the Civil Law countries. Indeed, references to Continental European law are minimal compared with examples, scattered throughout the text, taken from the U.S. Constitution and several American court cases. This is more than a concession to American readers; it signifies that Kelsens legal theory is truly general in that it accounts for the Common Law as well as the Civil Law.

Widely regarded as the most important legal theorist of the twentieth century, the author is best known for his formulation of the "pure theory of law" - within which the study of international law was his special field of work. Divided into two parts, this volume, allows him to adjust his theory to American circumstances after World War II.
