Recenzii

Professor Nicholas Barber's The Principles of Constitutionalism is an ambitious magnificent book.
Nick Barber's The Principles of Constitutionalism is in my view one of the most important works in constitutional theory in recent decades. For a political theorist, one of its principal virtues lies in its taking very seriously indeed the role that political institutions perform in ensuring that the state can perform its main function, that of promoting the well-being of its citizenry.
Barber's recent book brings much needed inspiration for the study of constitutions and constitutionalism at work. In particular, his emphasis on the interconnectedness of the principles of constitutionalism offers useful starting points for unmasking the genius of illiberal constitutional chicanery.
I, for one, am impressed. In this era of constitutionalism, this book is certainly a welcome complement to the many empirical studies on constitutions and constitution-making, and one that adds both perspective and normative framework.
In The Principles of Constitutionalism, Nicholas Barber provides a sophisticated yet highly readable introduction to fundamental constitutional principles.
...careful, elegant and illuminating
...genuinely illuminating.
There is so much that is original and persuasive in the book.
Barber's book is a fine instance of constitutional scholarship that is sensitive to the purposes of the state, understood as the moral need for state structures to realize justice in community. It provides excellent insights about the law's role in facilitating the self-direction of those it empowers, by delimiting their scope of action.
Nick Barber's book is part of an ambitious project to present a conceptual account of the state and the principles which should govern its functioning. His account is highly sophisticated and shows great sensitivity to the ways in which the constitutional order operates in practice, and how different elements of it impact on each other
In his latest book, The Principles of Constitutionalism, Nick Barber offers readers a distinctive, philosophically grounded account of constitutionalism. Recognizing that constitutionalism is an important but slippery concept, Barber presents an analysis of constitutionalism rooted in the theory of the state ... Barber has presented a fascinating contribution to the literature on constitutionalism that moves the debate forward by credibly reconceptualizing many of the key issues. The focus on empowered and effective constitutional government, rooted in a positive theory of the state, is coherently presented and at times compelling. That is more than enough to recommend The Principles of Constitutionalism to any reader interested in constitutional theory.
subtle, intricate, stimulating and powerfully argued study of constitutional principle. This fine book will be essential reading for anyone working in constitutional theory for many years to come.
