This book presents a searching critique of excessive reliance on courts as 'democracy-builders' in states emerging from authoritarian rule.
The Global South and Comparative Constitutional Law
Comparative constitutional law has a long and distinguished history in intellectual thought and in the construction of public law. As political actors and the people who create or modify their constitutional orders, they often wish to learn from the experience and learning of others. This cross-fertilization and mutual interaction have only accelerated with the onset of globalization, which has transformed the world into an interconnected web that facilitates dialogue and linkages across international and regional structures. Oxford Comparative Constitutionalism seeks to publish scholarship of the highest quality in constitutional law that deepens our knowledge of local, national, regional, and global phenomena through the lens of comparative public law.

A Constituição e sua reserva de justiça
A principal motivação para a reedição deste trabalho, escrito há mais de 25 anos, é partilhar com uma nova geração de leitores a proposição de uma teoria ao mesmo tempo democrática e eticamente fundamentada sobre os limites materiais ao poder de reforma estabelecidos pela Constituição de 1988, como uma ferramenta fundamental na proteção do Estado Democrático de Direito. Em uma era de intensas e rápidas transformações sociais, econômicas e tecnológicas, como a que estamos vivendo, e na qual o constitucionalismo democrático vem sendo objeto de crescente desconfiança e de ataques em diversas partes do mundo, o futuro da Constituição está diretamente associado à sua resiliência, que significa capacidade de articular rigidez e flexibilidade. Rigidez na proteção das regras do jogo democrático, do império da lei e dos direitos fundamentais, que habilitam a própria democracia; e flexibilidade em relação a um mundo em constante fluxo, que demanda sucessivas correções de rumo no plano institucional, para atender às próprias promessas de dignidade, justiça e bem-estar, que levam à adesão dos mais diversos setores da sociedade ao pacto constitucional.
Constitutionalism Under Extreme Conditions
This book examines the problem of constitutional change in times of crisis. Divided into five main parts, it both explores and interrogates how public law manages change in periods of extraordinary pressure on the constitution. In Part I, “Emergency, Exception and Normalcy,” the contributors discuss the practices and methods that could be used to help legitimize the use of emergency powers without compromising the constitutional principles that were created during a period of normalcy. In Part II, “Terrorism and Warfare,” the contributors assess how constitutions are interpreted during times of war, focusing on the tension between individual rights and safety. Part III, “Public Hea...

Constitutional Courts and Deliberative Democracy
It is often argued that courts are better suited for impartial deliberation than partisan legislatures, and that this capacity justifies handing them substantial powers of judicial review. This book provides a thorough analysis of those claims, introducing the theory of deliberative capacity and its implications for institutional design.
The Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism
From the rise of populist leaders and the threat of democratic backsliding to polarizing culture wars and the return of great power competition, the backlash against the political, economic, and social liberalism is increasingly labeled "illiberal." Yet, despite the increasing importance of these phenomena, scholars still lack a firm grasp on illiberalism as a conceptual tool for understanding societal transformations. The Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism addresses this gap by establishing a theoretical foundation for the study of illiberalism and showcasing state-of-the-art research on this phenomenon in its varied scripts-political, economic, cultural, and geopolitical. Bringing together the expertise of dozens of scholars, the Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism offers a thorough overview that characterizes the current state of the field and charts a path forward for future scholarship on this critical and quickly developing concept.
