Examines and compares East Asian and European perspectives of Global Constitutionalism.
A comprehensive study of public reason for courts, with contributions from leading scholars in philosophy, political science and law.
Leading constitutional theorists debate the merits of proportionality, the nature of rights, the practice of judicial review, and moral and legal reasoning.

This book offers a comprehensive critique of the principle of proportionality and balancing as applied to human and constitutional rights.
In several EU Member States, constitutional courts have reviewed European law on its compatibility with national constitutional law. These judgments deal with issues of major importance such as EU democratic legitimacy, the protection of fundamental rights, and the status of national sovereignty within the EU. Yet should national courts decide such issues of key constitutional significance for the EU? Or is it more democratic to leave these matters to political institutions that represent Europe's citizens and are politically accountable to them? In Judging European Democracy, Nik de Boer argues that the national courts' review of European law can actually constrain democratic debate over th...
