Constitutional Review in Europe: A Comparative Analysis de Dr Maartje De Visser

Constitutional Review in Europe: A Comparative Analysis: European and National Constitutional Law Series

Autor Dr Maartje De Visser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2015
Adopting a comparative perspective, this book offers a comprehensive study of the institution of constitutional review in 11 European countries (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland and the United Kingdom) as well as a critical appraisal of the EU legal order in light of these national experiences. Where possible, the book endeavours to identify Europe's common and diverse constitutional traditions of constitutional review. More particularly, the raison d'être, jurisdiction and composition of constitutional courts are explored and so too are core features of the constitutional adjudicatory process. Yet, this book also deliberately draws attention to the role of non-judicial actors in upholding the Constitution, as well as the complex interplay amongst constitutional courts and other actors at the national and European level.' ... a highly welcome contribution as a well-researched handbook for all those interested in comparative constitutional legal studies in the Member States and the EU constitutional legal order'. Benedikt Pirker, European Law Blog' ... this book is a veritable tour de force as it is a tour d'Europe.

Recenzii

... a highly welcome contribution as a well-researched handbook for all those interested in comparative constitutional legal studies in the Member States and the EU constitutional legal order....it offers plenty of 'pistes de refléxion' in the concluding section of each chapter and assembles a very helpful sample of legislative, jurisprudential and institutional developments in a well-chosen array of constitutional regimes of the EU and EU Member States.
Ultimately, Maartje de Visser's comparative contribution to the exploration of the constitutional review issue should be warmly welcomed as an even-handed, lucidly written and insightful addition to the ever-swelling body of scholarship in this area. Whilst it may be easy to overlook the fact, the author has managed to construct, without superficiality and with well-paced order, a comprehensive and credible survey of constitutional review practices across Europe - a survey that is at once a heavy-duty piece of scholarship and a generally fascinating book.
This forward-looking work is a thrilling travel through a winding and disregarded road, always looking to balance the general overview and a necessary didactical division of the work through the analysis of eleven representative European Countries.
...this book is a veritable tour de force as it is a tour d'Europe.Comparative analysis of constitutional review from a neutral perspective encompassing eleven states and the EU, is a highly ambitious project, one that de Visser has achieved in accomplishing with great skill and eloquence. As the first volume in the series European and National Constitutional Law, we may look forward eagerly to the next volume, and hope that it will prove as engaging, diverse, and insightful as this book is. For any practitioners, academic or scholar of constitutional law it is a highly recommended read.
[T]his book should be considered the new compulsory starting point for anyone interested in any key aspect of the constitutional adjudicatory process, and wishing to be quickly able to rely on authoritative points of comparison. . [I]t is difficult not to be struck by the quality of the research undertaken and the subtle nature of the analysis developed by the author on the basis of an impressive bibliography.Written in an engaging style, which constantly holds the reader's attention, de Visser's monograph makes a decisive contribution to our understanding of the institution of constitutional review in Europe. There is little doubt that it will become a classic reference for the practitioners, academics and students of comparative constitutional law.
...definitely to be recommended to constitutional and EU law specialists as a major contribution to some of the most timely issues they have to deal with.
[The book] succeeds in presenting the plurality of different solutions in carefully chosen comparative systems...it should be read by lawmakers and the drafters of any legislation regarding constitutional court...[and] is a priceless tool for any teacher looking for examples in comparative law to help students better appreciate the logic(s) of constitutional review.
