Zusatztext The Oxford Handbook of the Indian Constitution is a massive undertaking--not only in the many facets of the Indian Constitution that it explores, but in the detailed and illuminating ways in which it relates the constitutional politics of India to constitutionalism generally in the world. The result is that constitutional scholars everywhere will benefit from reading these fifty-six rich and insightful chapters. I can't imagine a better or more thoughtful guide to the principles, procedures, and problems of the world's largest democracy. Informationen zum Autor Sujit Choudhry is Dean and I.
