Paul Blokker

New Democracies in Crisis?

A Comparative Constitutional Study of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book considers whether the democratic promise of 1989 lost out to a technocratic, judicial control of politics in the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. It explores the complexities and drawbacks of modern constitutionalism by offering a comprehensive theoretical and comparative-empirical assessment of the status and role of constitutionalism in five New EU Member States.
