Democratization and the Judiciaryby Roberto Gargarella; Siri Gloppen; Elin Skaar
Frank Cass 2004; US$ 47.50This title examines the political role of courts in new democracies in Latin America and Africa, focusing on their ability to hold political power-holders accountable when they act outside their constitutionally defined powers. The book also issues a warning: There are problems inherent in the current global move towards strong constitutional government, where increasingly strong powers are placed in the hands of judges who themselves are not made accountable. more...
Benthamby James Steintrager
Routledge 2003; US$ 218.00First published in 1977 this volume challenges the accepted interpretations of Bentham's political thought and in particular the landmark criticism by John Stuart Mill and Elie Halevy. more...
Constitutional Limits and the Public Sphereby Oren Ben-Dor
Hart 2000; US$ 153.60The central intuition that guides the argument of this book is that both the technical and reductionist methodology associated with utilitarianism do not do justice to the theory which identifies the maximisation of pleasure as the most fundamental self-interest of man. more...
The Least Examined Branchby Richard W. Bauman; Tsvi Kahana
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 61.00Unlike most works in constitutional theory which focus on the role of the courts, this book addresses the role of legislatures in a regime of constitutional democracy.

The Constitution of Lawby David Dyzenhaus
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 40.00Deals with the urgent question of how governments should respond to emergencies and terrorism by exploring the idea that there is an unwritten constitution of law, exemplified in the common law constitution of Commonwealth countries. more...
Party Funding and Campaign Financing in International Perspectiveby Keith Ewing; Samuel Issacharoff
Hart 2006; US$ 139.20This volume deals with questions of political party funding and campaign financing, issues which arouse controversy in many parts of the world. How are the central actors in the political arena supposed to gather the funds necessary to operate effectively on behalf of their chosen political ends? And, how may they spend money in furtherance of their political objectives? The aim of this volume, the first in a new series of Columbia University/London University collaborative projects, is to explore these issues in the specific context of a number of national settings. more...

A Comment on the Commentaries and A Fragment on Governmentby J.H. Burns
Clarendon Press 2008; US$ 170.00In the two related works in this volume, Bentham offers a detailed critique of William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9). He provides important refelctions on the nature of law, and more particularly on the nature of customary and statute law, and on judicial interpretation. - ;In the two related works in this volume, Bentham offers a detailed critique of William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9). In 'Comment on the Commentaries', on which Bentham began work in 1774, he exposes the fallacies which he claims to have detected in Blackstone, and criticizes the theory of the Common Law. He goes on to provide important reflections on the nature of law, and more particularly on the nature... more...
From Positivism to Idealismby Sean Coyle
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2007; US$ 124.95Illuminating the idea of legality by a consideration of its moral nature, this book explores the emergence and development of two rival traditions of legal thought (those of 'positivism' and 'idealism') which together define the structure of modern juridical thought. In doing so, it consciously departs from many of the tendencies and working assumptions that define modern legal philosophy. more...
The Integrity of the Judgeby Jonathan Soeharno
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2009; US$ 114.95This book develops a comprehensive theory of judicial integrity through comparisons of established and developing democracies. A significant new work for legal theorists and philosophers, as well as scholars of legal and judicial ethics, The Integrity of the Judge offers a much-needed examination of an under-discussed concept. more...
