Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides an analysis of the role of constitutional governance from an international and interdisciplinary perspective. The range of disciplines represented in this collection of papers aims to open new perspectives on topics that are frequently left in the expert hands of political scientists and lawyers alone. It reveals scope for the further study of historical, cultural and rhetorical approaches in tandem with traditional approaches. The blend of cross-national experience and comparisons and the fertilization of one discipline by another should appeal to a wide interdisciplinary audience.
