Proportionality and Constitutional Culture (Hardcover, New): Moshe Cohen-Eliya, Iddo Porat Proportionality and Constitutional Culture (Hardcover, New)
Moshe Cohen-Eliya, Iddo Porat
R2,289 Discovery Miles 22 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Although the most important constitutional doctrine worldwide, a thorough cultural and historical examination of proportionality has not taken place until now. This comparison of proportionality with its counterpart in American constitutional law - balancing - shows how culture and history can create deep differences in seemingly similar doctrines. Owing to its historical origin in Germany, proportionality carries to this day a pro-rights association, while the opposite is the case for balancing. In addition, European legal and political culture has shaped proportionality as intrinsic to the state's role in realizing shared values, while in the United States a suspicion-based legal and political culture has shaped balancing in more pragmatic and instrumental terms. Although many argue that the USA should converge on proportionality, the book shows that a complex web of cultural associations make it an unlikely prospect.

Towering Judges - A Comparative Study of Constitutional Judges (Paperback): Rehan Abeyratne, Iddo Porat Towering Judges - A Comparative Study of Constitutional Judges (Paperback)
Rehan Abeyratne, Iddo Porat
R1,125 Discovery Miles 11 250 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In Towering Judges: A Comparative Study of Constitutional Judges, Rehan Abeyratne and Iddo Porat lead an exploration of a new topic in comparative constitutional law: towering judges. The volume examines the work of nineteen judges from fourteen jurisdictions, each of whom stood out individually among their fellow judges and had a unique impact on the trajectory of constitutional law. The chapters ask: what makes a towering judge; what are the background conditions that foster or deter the rise of towering judges; are towering judges, on balance, positive or detrimental for constitutional systems; how do towering judges differ from one jurisdiction to another; how do political and historical developments relate to this phenomenon; and how does all of this fit within global constitutionalism? The answers to these questions offer important insight into how these judges were able to shine to an uncommon degree in a profession where individualism is not always looked on favourably.
