Riassunto

Can constitutional amendments be unconstitutional? The problem of 'unconstitutional constitutional amendments' has become one of the most widely debated issues in comparative constitutional theory, constitutional design, and constitutional adjudication. This book describes and analyses the increasing tendency in global constitutionalism to substantively limit formal changes to constitutions. The challenges of constitutional unamendability to constitutional theory become even more complex when constitutional courts enforce such limitations through substantive judicial review of amendments, often resulting in the declaration that these constitutional amendments are 'unconstitutional'.

Combining historical comparisons, constitutional theory, and a wide comparative study, Yaniv Roznai sets out to explain what the nature of amendment power is, what its limitations are, and what the role of constitutional courts is and should be when enforcing limitations on constitutional amendments.

Prefazione

Winner of the 2018 ICON-S Book Prize

Testo aggiuntivo

A veritable encyclopaedia of amendatory power and what various apex courts have done (or not done) with it. And for the cognoscenti, it is a rich theory festival. ... this work is of compelling merit; both painstakingly researched, and elegantly presented in a reader-friendly way ... The work offers an embarrassment de riches and for long will be a source of many comparative constitutional theory studies.
