Preview Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change
ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE Comparative constitutional change has recently emerged as a distinct field in the study of constitutional law. It is the study of the way constitutions change through formal and infor- mal mechanisms, including amendment, replacement, total and partial revision, adaptation, interpretation, disuse and revolution. The shift of focus from constitution-making to consti- tutional change makes sense, since amendment power is the means used to refurbish consti- tutions in established democracies, enhance their adaptation capacity and boost their efficacy. Adversely, constitutional change is also the basic apparatus used to orchestrate con- stitutional backslide as the erosion of liberal democracies and democratic regression is increasingly affected through legal channels of constitutional change. Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change provides a comprehensive refer- ence tool for all those working in the field and a thorough landscape of all theoretical and practical aspects of the topic. Coherence from this aspect does not suggest a common view, as the chapters address different topics, but reinforces the establishment of comparative con- stitutional change as a distinct field. The book brings together the most respected scholars working in the field, and presents a genuine contribution to comparative constitutional stud- ies, comparative public law, political science and constitutional history. Xenophon Contiades is Professor of Public Law, Panteion University and President of the Centre for European Constitutional Law, Athens, Greece.
