Constitutionalism and Democracy Transitions in the Contemporary World The American Council of Learned Societies Comparative Constitutionalism Pap

The political changes which have occurred in the last three years have been phenomenal--the dissolving of the former Soviet Union, the impending union of Western Europe, and the evolution of democracy in Eastern Europe. What changes have occurred in the legal structure of these countries? How have their constitutions been affected by these developments? Stanley Katz, Douglas Greenberg, and other scholars and politicians from numerous countries discuss in this work the experiences of constitutionalism. Previously, little work has been done in this field, but now Constitutionalism and Democracy represents the range and depth for serious constitutional analysis. Discussing concrete issues such as human rights, nationalism, and pluralism, this volume will be essential in understanding the phenomenon of constitutionalism in various parts of the world.Greenberg, Douglas is the author of 'Constitutionalism and Democracy Transitions in the Contemporary World The American Council of Learned Societies Comparative Constitutionalism Pap' with ISBN 9780195071078 and ISBN 0195071077.
