Synopsis

Comparative Constitutional Law and Politics: Analysis, Cases, and Materials is the first interdisciplinary casebook for the field, offering students an innovative and truly global approach to comparative constitutional law. Written by leading scholars, this pioneering resource integrates state-of-the-art literature and caselaw from constitutional law with insights from social science. Its coverage reaches far beyond the traditional canon to help students understand the full reach of the field, drawing on materials from around the world in a truly global approach.

Recognizing that constitution-making and interpretation are increasingly transnational, the book includes cases from six continents, addressing historical gaps in coverage. It incorporates data on global trends, and excerpts from cutting-edge scholarship and key judicial decisions, along with detailed explanations by the casebook's editors. Each chapter is organized around a key concept, beginning with a bird's-eye view of the topic that introduces the current state of scholarly and legislative debate and encourages thoughtful student engagement.
