Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Constitutional Pluralism in the European Union and Beyond by Edited by Matej Avbelj Edited by Jan Komarek
Constitutional pluralism is a popular subject among scholars of European integration and global governance. Some of them believe that constitutionalism will emerge beyond state borders in the process of European integration and in international regulatory and rights-setting regimes such as the WTO and ECHR. But the idea of constitutional pluralism is not unchallenged. The critiques have come from those who believe in traditional European constitutionalism based on the superior authority of the EU as well as from scholars focusing on constitutions of particular states. The book collects contributions taking opposing perspectives on constitutional pluralism - some defending and promoting the concept of constitutional pluralism some criticising and opposing it. Together they offer fresh perspectives on both the theoretical and practical aspects of constitutional pluralism.
