'This collection is a timely survey of the role of constitutional
courts in comparative perspective - it provides an excellent
summary of developments in a range of jurisdictions, and locates
them in a broader social and political context. Among other
factors, it considers global trends toward increasing international
and regional human rights protection, increased recognition of
second and third generation rights, and trends toward
decentralization in democratic governance. It is bound to be of
broad interest to both comparative constitutional lawyers and
scholars.' - Rosalind Dixon, University of New South Wales,
Australia Constitutional review has become an essential feature of
modern liberal democratic constitutionalism. In particular,
constitutional review in the context of rights litigation has
proved to be most challenging for the courts. By offering in-depth
analyses on changes affecting constitutional design and
constitutional adjudication, while also engaging with general
theories of comparative constitutionalism, this book seeks to
provide a heightened understanding of the constitutional and
political responses to the issue of adaptability and endurance of
rights-based constitutional review. These original contributions,
written by an array of distinguished experts and illustrated by the
most up-to-date case law, cover Australia, Belgium, Finland,
France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the
United States, and include constitutional systems that are not
commonly studied in comparative constitutional studies. Providing
structured analyses, the editors combine studies of common law and
civil law jurisdictions, centralized and decentralized systems of
constitutional review, and large and small jurisdictions. This
multi-jurisdictional study will appeal to members of the judiciary,
policy-makers and practitioners looking for valuable insights into
the case law of a range of constitutional and supreme courts in
this rapidly expanding field of constitutional adjudication. It
also serves as an excellent resource for academics, scholars and
advanced students in the fields of law, human rights and political
science. Contributors: J. Bell, E. Carolan, C. Chandrachud, A.
