Sociology of Constitutions

A Paradoxical Perspective
Herausgeber: Febbrajo, Alberto; Corsi, Giancarlo

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection brings together some of the most influential sociologists of law to confront the challenges of current transnational constitutionalism. The study defines the constitution's contents and functions both at the conceptual level and by taking empirical issues of particular comparative interest into account, and shows the constitution in a new light: no longer as an essential factor of unity and stabilisation but as a potential defence of pluralism and innovation.
