Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Critical Reflections on Constitutional Democracy in the European Union by Edited by Sacha Garben Edited by Inge Govaere Edited by Paul Nemitz
This book draws on the expertise of world-leading academics and practitioners reflecting critically yet constructively on the current state of constitutional democracy. While the primary focus is on the European Union the assessment also includes the United States in order to understand both the commonalities and the differences in the challenges faced. These challenges notably include populism a lack of trust in political and legal institutions de-parliamentarisation and a degradation of the rule of law. It includes a rich variety of sub-topics angles and approaches with the express aim of providing original analysis challenging often-made assumptions and destabilising settled understandings. It offers fresh perspectives on this fundamental issue that is as contemporary as it is perennial.
