Spreading Democracy and the Rule of Law? - The Impact of EU Enlargemente for the Rule of Law, Democracy and Constitutionalism... Spreading Democracy and the Rule of Law? - The Impact of EU Enlargemente for the Rule of Law, Democracy and Constitutionalism in Post-Communist Legal Orders (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)
Wojciech Sadurski, Adam Czarnota, Martin Krygier
R4,581 Discovery Miles 45 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The accession of eight post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (and also of Malta and Cyprus) to the European Union in 2004 has been heralded as perhaps the most important development in the history of European integration so far. While the impact of the enlargement on the constitutional structures and practices of the EU has already generated a rich scholarly literature, the influence of the accession on constitutionalism, democracy, human rights and the rule of law among the new member states has been largely ignored. This book fills this gap, and addresses the question of the consequences of the "external force" of European enlargement upon the understanding and practice of democracy and the rule of law and among both the main legal-political actors and the general public in the new member-states. A number of leading legal scholars, sociologists and political scientists, both from Central and Eastern Europe and from outside, address these issues in a systematic and critical way. Taken together, these essays help answer a fundamental question: does the European Union have the potential of promoting and consolidate democracy and human rights?

Anti-Constitutional Populism (Hardcover, New Ed): Martin Krygier, Adam Czarnota, Wojciech Sadurski Anti-Constitutional Populism (Hardcover, New Ed)
Martin Krygier, Adam Czarnota, Wojciech Sadurski
R3,000 Discovery Miles 30 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Around the world, populist parties have sprung up in formerly and formally liberal-democratic polities, challenging their existing political parties and leaders, and frequently overwhelming them. These challenges and successes were rarely predicted, arriving so soon after the wave of liberal democratic and constitutional enthusiasms, proclamations and institution-building which peaked in the 1990s. Bringing together scholars from law, political science and philosophy, this collection explores the character of contemporary populisms and their relationships to constitutional democracy. With contributors from around the world, it offers a diverse range of nuanced perspectives on populism as a global phenomenon. Using comparative and multi-disciplinary techniques, this book considers the specifics and similarities of populisms, and raises general questions about their nature and potential futures.

R2,830 Discovery Miles 28 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The text begins by presenting general considerations on the rule of law after communism, and then moves its focus inward to consider more particular problems. Part one of the book involves the exploration of the concept of the rule of law itself and the second part considers its most explicitly developed application: constitutionalism. The third part looks into some of the moral dilemmas that are opened up when an attempt is made to adapt law to confront an often distasteful past - not all traces of which have passed. In the fourth part of the book the distinctive problems of crime in post-communist societies is examined, and part five deals with some international implications and ambitions stimulated by the collapse of communism and its aftermath.

Philip Selznick - Ideals in the World (Hardcover): Martin Krygier Philip Selznick - Ideals in the World (Hardcover)
Martin Krygier
R1,234 Discovery Miles 12 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Philip Selznick's wide-ranging writings engaged with fundamental questions concerning society, politics, institutions, law, and morals. Never confined by a single discipline or approach, he proved himself a major figure across a range of fields including sociology, organizations and institutions, leadership, political science, sociology of law, political theory, and social philosophy. This volume, the first book-length treatment of Selznick's ideas, discusses Selznick's various intellectual contributions.
Reading across Selznick's work, one appreciates the coherence of his fundamental preoccupations--with the social conditions for frustration and the vindication of values and ideas. Exploring Selznick's insights into the nature and quality of institutional, legal, and social life, the book also examines his particular ways of thinking, concerns, values, and sensibility. Martin Krygier brings to light the coherence of Selznick's fundamental preoccupations, allowing readers to fully engage with his unique insights and distinctive moral-intellectual sensibility.
