Download or read book Constitutions written by Judith Pryor and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-08-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing a postcolonial perspective to UK constitutional debates and including a detailed and comparative engagement with the constitutions of Britain’s ex-colonies, this book is an original reflection upon the relationship between the written and the unwritten constitution. Can a nation have an unwritten constitution? While written constitutions both found and define modern nations, Britain is commonly regarded as one of the very few exceptions to this rule. Drawing on a range of theories concerning writing, law and violence (from Robert Cover to Jacques Derrida), Constitutions makes a theoretical intervention into conventional constitutional analyses by problematizing the notion of a ‘written constitution’ on which they are based. Situated within the frame of the former British empire, this book deconstructs the conventional opposition between the ‘margins’ and the ‘centre’, as well as between the ‘written’ and ‘unwritten’, by paying very close, detailed attention to the constitutional texts under consideration. Pryor argues that Britain’s ‘unwritten’ constitution and ‘immemorial’ common law only take on meaning in a relation of difference with the written constitutions of its former colonies. These texts, in turn, draw on this pre-literate origin in order to legitimize themselves. The ‘unwritten’ constitution of Britain can therefore be located and dislocated in postcolonial written constitutions. Constitutions is an excellent addition to the bookshelves of all students of the philosophy of law, political theory, constitutional and administrative law and jurisprudence.

Book Synopsis This Sporting Life by : Robert Colls
Download or read book This Sporting Life written by Robert Colls and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did killing a fox mean liberty? What did parish revels have to do with the Peterloo Massacre? What did animal cruelty have to do with the English constitution? What did the Factory Acts mean for modern football? In This Sporting Life, Robert Colls explains sport as one of England's great civil cultures. The lived experiences of people from all walks of life are reclaimed to tell England's history through its great sporting cultures, from the horseback pursuits of the wealthy and politically connected, to the street games in working-class neighbourhoods which needed nothing but a ball. It observes people at play, describes how they felt and thought, carries the reader along to a match or a hunt or a fight, draws out the sounds and smells of humans and animals, showing that sport has been as important in defining British culture as gender, politics, education, class, and religion.
Book Synopsis Cabinets and First Ministers by : Graham White
Download or read book Cabinets and First Ministers written by Graham White and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What place do first ministers and their cabinets have in democratic life in Canada? Has cabinet become a prime ministerial focus group? Do political staff and central agency bureaucrats enhance or diminish democracy? Do private members have any say in the cabinet process? Graham White renders a clear account of the development, structure, and operation of cabinet and the role of first ministers at the federal, provincial, and territorial levels. He discusses how the processes that support cabinet are affected by the considerable power of the first minister, and looks at the ways in which they permit the involvement of other elected members and the public. Taking the view that characterizing our Westminster-style government is an oversimplification, White examines first ministers and cabinets in terms of accountability and transparency and proposes realistic improvements to this aspect of Canadian democracy.
Book Synopsis The Constitution of New Zealand by : Matthew SR Palmer
Download or read book The Constitution of New Zealand written by Matthew SR Palmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines New Zealand's constitution, through the lens of constitutional realism. It looks at the practices, habits, conventions and norms of constitutional life. It focuses on the structures, processes and culture that govern the exercise of public power – a perspective that is necessary to explore and account for a lived, rather than textual, constitution. New Zealand's constitution is unique. One of three remaining unwritten democratic constitutions in the world, it is characterised by a charming set of anachronistic contrasts. “Unwritten”, but much found in various written sources. Built on a network of Westminster constitutional conventions but generously tailored to local conditions. Proudly independent, yet perhaps a purer Westminster model than its British parent. Flexible and vulnerable, while oddly enduring. It looks to the centralised authority that comes with a strong executive, strict parliamentary sovereignty, and a unitary state. However, its populace insists on egalitarian values and representative democracy, with elections fiercely conducted nowadays under a system of proportional representation. The interests of indigenous Maori are protected largely through democratic majority rule. A reputation for upholding the rule of law, yet few institutional safeguards to ensure compliance.

Book Synopsis Twilight of the Ephemeral Magicians by : Joseph Zammit
Download or read book Twilight of the Ephemeral Magicians written by Joseph Zammit and published by Primedia E-launch LLC. This book was released on 2016 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twilight of the Ephemeral Magicians is a philosophy for the future. It takes us on that age-old quest to try to understand what ‘knowledge’, ‘truth’ and ‘life’ are all about. We live in a world dominated by those who presume to know what is good for us and who speak to us as if they possess some kind of ‘magic’. These magicians have a name. We might call them politicians, theologians, scientists, economists … the list is endless. And, from their bags of tricks, they seek to amuse us, to trick us, to seduce us, to tantalise us, to terrorise us, to deceive us, to torment us, to rob us, to leave us to hunger and the spirit forever wanting. The Twilight of the Ephemeral Magicians gives us an insight into the past and the present and a glimpse of what the future might hold for us – a future, a world, absent of all magicians and one in which the human stands above all else as the Supreme Being. If we should succeed in this quest, then this book might well present itself as a ‘Book of Revelations’.

Book Synopsis Welfare and Work in the Open Economy: Volume II: Diverse Responses to Common Challenges in Twelve Countries by : Fritz W. Scharpf
Download or read book Welfare and Work in the Open Economy: Volume II: Diverse Responses to Common Challenges in Twelve Countries written by Fritz W. Scharpf and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-09-07 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking, two-volume study of the adjustment of advanced welfare states to international economic pressures, leading scholars detail the wide variety of responses in twelve countries. Rejecting any notion of convergence to some kind of neo-liberal orthodoxy, they find that most countries have remained true to the basic features of their postwar model as they have liberalized. Moreover, within different welfare- state constellations, while some countries are still struggling to adjust, others have reached a new sustainable equilibrium. Volume I presents comparative analyses of differences in countries' vulnerabilities and capabilities, the effectiveness of the policy responses, and the role of values and discourse in the politics of adjustment. Volume II presents in-depth analyses of the experiences of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom as well as special studies on the the participation of women in the labour market, early retirement, the liberalization of public services, and international tax competition.
