What is the purpose of comparative constitutional law? Comparing
constitutions allows us to consider the similarities and
differences in forms of government, and the normative philosophies
behind constitutional choices. Constitutional comparisons offer
'hermeneutic' help: they enable us to see 'our' own constitution
with different eyes and to locate its structural and normative
choices by references to alternatives evident in other
constitutional orders. This Cambridge Companion presents readers
with a succinct yet wide-ranging companion to a modern comparative
constitutional law course, offering a wide-ranging yet concise
introduction to the subject. Its twenty-two chapters are arranged
into five thematic parts: starting with an exploration of the
'theoretical foundations' (Part I) and some important 'historical
experiences' (Part II), it moves on to a discussion of the core
'constitutional principles' (Part III) and 'state institutions'
(Part IV); finally it analyses forms of 'transnational'
constitutionalism (Part V) that have emerged in our 'global' times.
