European Citizenship in Perspective
Civil, economic, political and social rights are at the centre of the concept of European citizenship. In this volume, the focus is on the political-constitutional dimension of European citizenship, which is discussed from the perspective of several disciplines – history, constitutional law and political science. It provides a multi-faceted account of the evolution of European citizenship and its institutionalization, explaining why certain rights came into existence at a certain time and focussing on several key actors involved, such as the European Court of Justice.
Constitutionalism in Context
With its emphasis on emerging and cutting-edge debates in the study of comparative constitutional law and politics, its suitability for both research and teaching use, and its distinguished and diverse cast of contributors, this handbook is a must-have for scholars and instructors alike. This versatile volume combines the depth and rigor of a scholarly reference work with features for teaching in law and social science courses. Its interdisciplinary case-study approach provides political and historical as well as legal context: each modular chapter offers an overview of a topic and a jurisdiction, followed by a case study that simultaneously contextualizes both. Its forward-looking and highly diverse selection of topics and jurisdictions fills gaps in the literature on the Global South as well as the West. A timely section on challenges to liberal constitutional democracy addresses pressing concerns about democratic backsliding and illiberal and/or authoritarian regimes.

Commodus
The emperor Commodus (AD 180-192) has commonly been portrayed as an insane madman, whose reign marked the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire. Indeed, the main point of criticism on his father, Marcus Aurelius, is that he appointed his son as his successor. Especially Commodus’ behaviour as a gladiator, and the way he represented himself with divine attributes (especially those of Hercules), are often used as evidence for the emperor’s presumed madness. However, this ‘political biography’ will apply modern interpretations of the spectacles in the arena, and of the imperial cult, to Commodus' reign. It will focus on the dissemination and reception of imperial images, and suggest that there was a method in Commodus’ madness.
Rethinking the Masters of Comparative Law

Constitutional Law in the Netherlands

Het spook van Weimar
Met de stichting van de Weimarrepubliek in november 1918 werd de eerste democratische staatsvorm in Duitsland een feit. Een lang leven was haar echter niet gegund. Al vanaf haar geboorte kende deze republiek veel tegenstanders die werden gesterkt in hun ideeën door samenzweringstheorieën, de ondertekening van het Verdrag van Versailles en diverse crises van economische en politieke aard. De beurskrach van eind 1929 bleek de nekslag voor de republiek - vanaf dat moment kon de ondergang van de toch al instabiele democratie niet meer worden afgewend, met als gevolg dat op 23 maart 1933 Adolf Hitler de macht greep en begon met de uitbouw van zijn Derde Rijk. Dit boek schetst de situatie ten ti...

Van virus naar verbinding
Nederland is in de coronatijd in een situatie belandt van eindeloze polarisatie. Ondertussen willen de meeste mensen gewoon weer normaal doen. Maar ja, hoe doe je normaal in een knotsgekke wereld? In Van virus naar verbinding beschrijft de auteur gedetailleerd de coronatijd met een unieke, psychologische invalshoek. Welke kampen bestaan er? Waarom blijft de meerderheid de vreemd aanvoelende maatregelen accepteren? En vooral: hoe creëren wij verbinding in plaats van polarisatie? Van virus naar verbinding zit boordevol concrete oplossingen en relevante interviews. Zo wordt Diederik Gommers die ene, prangende vraag gesteld: waarom werd er niet opgeschaald? Dit is hét ideale verbindingsboek met talloze suggesties om samen terug naar normaal te gaan.
