Paolo Sandro, "The Making of Constitutional Democracy: From Creation to Application of Law" (Bloomsbury, 2022)
This book is a tour de force. In\xa0The Making of Constitutional Democracy: From Creation to Application of Law\xa0(Bloomsbury, 2022),\xa0Dr Paolo Sandro\xa0explores the assumed unproblematic\xa0tension between the creation and application of law, and the way that this guides constitutional democracy. Crossing both jurisdictional borders and legal traditions, the author draws out the intrinsic relation between law, power and politics, to reveal law's authority. Ten years in the writing, the work is truly interdisciplinary. It\xa0integrates jurisprudential methodology, history, anthropology, political science, philosophy of language and philosophy of action. It will be of use to anyone who is serious about becoming a better scholar. It compels reflection on the assumptions that scholars make in writing, in practice, in scholarship and study. All the while\xa0Sandro breaks new ground in legal theory and in the study of constitutional democracy.\xa0\nDr Paolo Sandro\xa0is a lecturer in law at The University of Leeds.\xa0\nThe Making of Constitutional Democracy: From Creation to Application of Law\xa0is available\xa0open access.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
