Book Synopsis Constitutional Review in Central and Eastern Europe by : Kálmán Pócza
Download or read book Constitutional Review in Central and Eastern Europe written by Kálmán Pócza and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities in several European countries have attracted international interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature. Some political actors have argued that courts have assumed too much power and politics has been extremely judicialized. This volume accurately and systematically examines the extent to which this aggregation of power may have constrained the dominant political actors’ room for manoeuvre. To explore the diversity and measure the strength of judicial decisions, the contributors to this work have elaborated a methodology to give a more nuanced picture of the practice of constitutional adjudication in Central and Eastern Europe between 1990 and 2020. The work opens with an assessment of the existing literature on empirical analysis of judicial decisions with a special focus on the Central and Eastern European region, and a short summary of the methodology of the project. This is followed by ten country studies and a concluding chapter providing a comprehensive comparative analysis of the results. A further nine countries are explored in the counterpart volume to this book: Constitutional Review in Western Europe: Judicial-Legislative Relations in Comparative Perspective. The collection will be an invaluable resource for those working in the areas of empirical legal research and comparative constitutional law, as well as political scientists interested in judicial politics.
Book Synopsis Rights Before Courts by : Wojciech Sadurski
Download or read book Rights Before Courts written by Wojciech Sadurski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-26 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a completely revised and updated second edition of Rights Before Courts (2005, paper edition 2008). This book carefully examines the most recent wave of the emergence and case law of activist constitutional courts: those that were set up after the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe. In contrast to most other analysts and scholars, the study does not take for granted that they are a “force for good” but rather subjects them to critical scrutiny against a background of wide-ranging comparative and theoretical analysis of constitutional judicial review in the modern world. The new edition takes in new case law and constitutional developments in the decade since the first edition, including considering the recent disturbing disempowerment of the Hungarian Constitutional Court (which previously was probably the most powerful constitutional court in the world) resulting from the fundamental constitutional changes brought about by the Fidesz government.

Book Synopsis Constitutional Justice, East and West by : Wojciech Sadurski
Download or read book Constitutional Justice, East and West written by Wojciech Sadurski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the power of constitutional judges to overturn parliamentary choices on the basis of their own reading of the constitution, be reconciled with fundamental democratic principles which assign the supreme role in the political system to parliaments? This time-honoured question acquired a new significance when the post-commumst countries of Central and Eastern Europe, without exception, adopted constitutional models in which constitutional courts play a very significant role, at least in theory. Can we learn something about the relationship between democracy and constitutionalism in general, from the meteoric rise of constitutional tribunals in the post-communist countries? Can the discussions and controversies relating to constitutional review which have been going on for decades in more established democracies illuminate the sources of the strength of constitutional courts in Central and Eastern Europe? These questions lie at the center of this book, which focuses on the question of constitutional review in postcommunist states, from a theoretical and comparative perspective. The chapters contained in the book outline the conceptual framework for analyzing the sources, the role and the legitimacy of constitutional justice in a system of political democracy. From this perspective, it assesses the experience of constitutional justice in the West (where the model originated) and in Central and Eastern Europe, where the model has been implanted after the fail of Communism.
Book Synopsis Constitutional Reforms and International Law in Central and Eastern Europe by : Rejn Avovič Müllerson
Download or read book Constitutional Reforms and International Law in Central and Eastern Europe written by Rejn Avovič Müllerson and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent developments in central and eastern Europe have changed the political landscape of the world. The dissolution of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, the collapse of Communism in Europe, market reforms, and the processes of democratisation are all seminal events affecting not only the countries in transition but other states as well. All these changes presuppose fundamental legal reforms. In this process most of the countries in transition have adopted new constitutions where issues of participation in the international political order and questions of international law enjoy a prominent place. This book is one outcome of many research activities concerning these transitions in central and eastern Europe at the Centre of European Law, King's College London. It contains essays about constitutional reforms and international law by leading international judges and academics. It is edited by Mads Andenas, Director of the Centre of European Law at King's College London, Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Reader in International Law at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, and Rein Müllerson, Professor in International Law at King's College.
Book Synopsis Constitutional Evolution in Central and Eastern Europe by : Alexander H.E. Morawa
Download or read book Constitutional Evolution in Central and Eastern Europe written by Alexander H.E. Morawa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines EU enlargement by studying how domestic constitutional evolution in the new member states contributes to European integration. In contrast to the usual top-down analytical pattern, it reverses the paradigm by looking at constitutional developments and dynamics from the bottom-up, studying how domestic constitutional evolution contributes to European integration. The authors analyze constitutional trends from the perspective of 'new Member States' as policy-makers and not strictly as policy-takers. The issue of conditionality is also explored in a discussion of the extent to which pre-2004 and 2007 conditionality has had lasting effects at the level of constitutionalization of different areas and norms and if so, of what kind. The exploration of Europeanization effects in recent Member States substantiates and demonstrates how enlargement has been an important driving-force for the effective export of EU legal rules in this region. The book utilizes a comparative approach to highlight the merits and obstacles created by the growing diversity in the constitutional rules and patterns of the new Member States. It also contains a section that places the CEE constitutionalizing map in a broader comparative European and global context, establishing links with similar transitional regimes in the continent and elsewhere.

Download or read book Constitutional Politics in Central and Eastern Europe written by Anna Fruhstorfer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this edited volume discuss constitutional politics in 20 Central and Eastern European countries. The country chapters describe all constitutional amendments and new constitutions after the first post-communist constitution-making, all failed amendment attempts, and the political discourses about constitutional politics.

The book thus provides a better understanding of constitutional politics in the region and beyond.

Book Synopsis Constitutional Politics and the Judiciary by : Kálmán Pócza
Download or read book Constitutional Politics and the Judiciary written by Kálmán Pócza and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities, for example in Poland and Hungary, have attracted international interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature in Central and Eastern European countries. Several political actors have argued that courts have assumed too much power after the democratic transformation process in 1989/1990. These claims are explicitly or implicitly connected to the charge that courts have constrained the room for manoeuvre of the legislatures too heavily and that they have entered the field of politics. Nevertheless, the question to what extent has this aggregation of power constrained the dominant political actors has never been examined accurately and systematically in the literature. The present volume fills this gap by applying an innovative research methodology to quantify the impact and effect of court’s decisions on legislation and legislators, and measure the strength of judicial decisions in six CEE countries.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Fifteen Years of Constitutional Practice in Central and Eastern Europe by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Evaluation of Fifteen Years of Constitutional Practice in Central and Eastern Europe written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains the papers presented at the UniDem seminar held in Warsaw, 19-20 November 2004. A decade and a half after the democratic transition in the countries of central and eastern Europe, the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) marked its fifteen years of existence by looking back over this period of institutional upheaval. The Warsaw seminar, which inaugurated the work of the Polish chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, viewed these fifteen years of change in the light of constitutional practice. Thus, two basic approaches were adopted: the role of the executive in this practice, and the influence of electoral systems in institutional change. The papers and discussions in Warsaw brought together specialists from very different backgrounds. Marking a convergence between constitutional law and electoral law, this conference retraced fifteen years over which the outlines of powers have gradually taken shape. Depending on the state, the executive has moved towards a presidential, semi-presidential, or parliamentary form of government, with a trend towards the latter two. During this period, electoral systems underwent major changes, sometimes dictated by general interest and sometimes responding to partisan demands. In all institutions the electoral systems have kept pace with constitutional practice and change, and have thus led progressively towards honest and genuine choices for citizens
Book Synopsis Limits to Democratic Constitutionalism in Central and Eastern Europe by : Bogusia Puchalska
Download or read book Limits to Democratic Constitutionalism in Central and Eastern Europe written by Bogusia Puchalska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Bogusia Puchalska develops an original theory of democratic constitutionalism and uses it to support the argument that constitution-making and law-making in constitutional moments should be politically, and not just constitutionally, legitimate. In doing so she expertly assesses the potential implications of the prospects of democratic consolidation and constitutionalism in Poland after 1989 and asks whether it is likely to be applicable to other transition countries such as Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. This original and informative book should be read by all curious to understand how the democratic learning and the foundations of grass-root constitutionalism might have been damaged in post-communist countries.
