In this follow-up volume to the critically acclaimed The
Constitutional State, N. W. Barber explores how the principles of
constitutionalism structure and influence successful states.
Constitutionalism is not exclusively a mechanism to limit state
powers. An attractive and satisfying account of constitutionalism,
and, by derivation, of the state, can only be reached if the
principles of constitutionalism are seen as interlocking parts of a
broader doctrine. This holistic study of the relationship between
the constitutional state and its central principles - sovereignty;
the separation of powers; the rule of law; subsidiarity; democracy;
and civil society - casts light on long-standing debates over the
meaning and implications of constitutionalism. The book provides a
concise introduction to constitutionalism and a detailed account of
the nature and implications of each of the principles in question.
It concludes with an examination of the importance of
constitutional principles to the work of judges, legislators, and
others involved in the operation and creation of the constitution.
The book is essential reading for those seeking a definitive
account of constitutionalism and its benefits.
