  • Sovereignty and Liberty

    A Study of the Foundations of Power

    by Amnon Lev ...
    The attitude we take to power is almost invariably one of distrust, never more so than when it claims to be sovereign. And yet, we have always been drawn to sovereignty. Out of fear or fascination, we accepted that it was a condition of our liberty; that to assert ourselves as free, we would have to work not against but through sovereign power. This book retraces the history of the implication of ... Read more

    Public Law Between Governance and Political Life

    Edited by Dr Amnon Lev ...
    Series series Hart Studies in Comparative Public Law
    A significant part of the world's population lives under some sort of federal arrangement. And yet, the concepts of federalism and federation remain under-theorised. Federalist theorists have, for the most part, defined their object by opposition to the unitary state. As a result, they have not developed public law theories that capture the specificity of this type of polity.Bringing together ... Read more

  • Legitimate Expectations in the Common Law World

    Edited by Matthew Groves, Greg Weeks ...

  • Constitutional Courts and Deliberative Democracy

    by Conrado Hübner Mendes ...
    Series series Oxford Constitutional Theory
    Contemporary democracies have granted an expansive amount of power to unelected judges that sit in constitutional or supreme courts.

The best institutional translation of a 'government of the people, by the people and for the people' is usually expressed ... Read more

  • The Conscience of the Constitution

    The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty

    by Timothy Sandefur ...
    The Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty documents a forgotten truth: the word “democracy” is nowhere to be found in either the Constitution or the Declaration. But it is the overemphasis of democracy by the legal community–rather than the primacy of liberty, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence–that has led to the growth of government ...

  • Human Rights and Judicial Review in Australia and Canada

    The Newest Despotism?

    by Dr Janina Boughey ...
