Résumé
This two-volume set examines the origins and growth of judicial review in the key G-20 constitutional democracies, which include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, India, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, and the European Union, as well as Israel. The volumes consider five different theories, which help to explain the origins of judicial review, and identify which theories apply best in the various countries discussed. They consider not only what gives rise to judicial review originally, but also what causes of judicial review lead it to become more powerful and prominent over time. Volume Two discusses the G-20 civil law countries.
Texte suppl.
Beyond supplying a vast quantity of information in English on major constitutional laws,
Professor Steven Calabresi's imposing work makes two significant contributions to the
comparative agenda. First, it shows a commitment to the normative value of foreign law even
as countries ranging from Hungary to the United Kingdom, from the United States to Brazil,
and from Poland to India indulge in forms of retrenchment vis-à-vis foreignness. Secondly,
it demonstrates how conservative values-Professor Calabresi is a prominent Republican on
the U.S. scene-can accommodate a dedication to foreign legal studies. The epistemological
significance of both brave achievements can hardly be overstated."
