Aziz Z. Huq

The Rule of Law (eBook, ePUB)

A Very Short Introduction

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

By charting disagreements about the rule of law and showing the overlap and the conflicts between its different understandings, Aziz Z. Huq shows how that concept can be used as an important tool for framing and evaluating the goals and functions of law. He examines the historical origins of the rule of law--from ancient Greece to the constitutional theorist Albert Venn Dicey to the economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek-and shows how that value is coming under pressure from destabilizing terrorism, macroeconomic crisis, pandemics, autocratic populism, and climate change.
