The Constitution of France: A Contextual Analysis de Sophie Boyron

The Constitution of France: A Contextual Analysis: Constitutional Systems of the World

Autor Sophie Boyron
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2012
The centrepiece of this work is the French Constitution of 1958, portrayed by the author as an innovative hybrid construct whose arrival brought the constitutional stability that had eluded France for centuries. But the creation of the 1958 Constitution was not an isolated act; it represents part of an evolutionary process which continues to this day. Even though it is codified, the constitution of the Fifth Republic has evolved so markedly that some commentators have dubbed the present institutional balance the 'Sixth Republic'. It is this dynamic of the constitution which this book seeks to explain. At the same time the book shows how the French constitution has not developed in isolation, but reflects to some extent the global movement of ideas, ideas which sometimes challenge the very foundations of the 1958 Constitution.

Recenzii

The book is a comprehensive, well-researched and well-presented piece of work.What I particularly like about this contribution, apart from its rich content, is the clear narrative style. The tone is also correctly pitched: while portraying an overall positive view of French constitutionalism, the author also draws the reader's attention to critics who call for further reforms and encourage further research in the field.the book is a timely contribution not only to the Hart Series, but also indeed to the scholarly literature on French Constitutional Law and comparative constitutionalism. Although it requires a basic grounding in French constitutional law and history, and cognate fields, such as European law, I would recommend it to students and academics interested in the French legal system and in comparative constitutional law and politics.
