Rezensionen

'It is an important merit of this book to show that legal and political orders are not the resultof one or more dominating political forces, but of multiple societal forces. This holds true forthe EU legal and political order, too.'

Massimo Fichera, book review in Common Market Law Review

'Pribán first investigates the imaginary unity of society and its legal system within the framework of the nation state and then debunks it by offering a way out of this unity of topos (space), ethnos (people), and nomos (the legal order). It is precisely the inquiry into this unity, its problems, and possible alternatives to it that constitutes the main contribution of Pribán's thinking as expressed in Constitutional Imaginaries.'

Lukás Lev Cervinka, book review in Journal of Law and Society
