Synopsis

The book is the first full-length English language treatment of the civil disobedience of the West German Peace Movement in the 1980s and the resulting trials of some of its members in the German Constitutional Court. The book uses these events and critical cases to analyze the German Constitutional Court as a crucial institution of government, and it also places the outcomes of the cases at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.
