Towards World Constitutionalism: Issues in the Legal Ordering of the World Community
Editat de Ronald St. John Macdonald, Douglas M. Johnstonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2005
To that end it seems timely to reconsider the case for strengthening the constitutional framework of norms and institutions that seemed to offer the promise of fulfillment in the second half of the 20th century. The post-Cold War euphoria of the 1990s has virtually evaporated under the stress of new concerns at a time when states comprising the UN system are no longer capable of addressing these challenges.
Towards World Constitutionalism argues the case for a more ‘constitutionalized’ system of international law and diplomacy. It is published at a time that the call for reform of the United Nations has become more insistent than at any time in its 60-year history. Even those most faithful to the purposes and principles enunciated in the Charter have had to admit to concerns about the management of certain sectors of the organization; and most concede the unrepresentative character of the powerful Security Council granted legal supremacy as the enforcer of international peace and security. Many go further and complain of unconscionable political bias in the General Assembly and in certain, over politicized, agencies.
This collection of essays, by a selection of distinguished scholars representing various traditions of international law, constitutes a major contribution to this debate. It is an important resource for scholars and practitioners, and for all those concerned with the future of international law, and the world community.

Recenzii
'This work should serve as an excellent resource for present and future generations faced with the issues surrounding potential potential UN reform. The compilation allows the reader to access a useful volume of contemporary scholarship on an important, continually evolving subject. The essays are also well-documented; the references alone provide the reader with a survey of important sources and writings from experienced diplomats, jurists, scholars, and practitioners.'
Kelly Vinopal, The American Journal of International Law, Volume 100 (2006).
'The editors have collated a refreshingly balanced but cutting edge endeavor, via contributors with varied points of view. The authors, however, are by no means neutral in this debate - a feature that promotes interest and diversity of perspective in this sizeable volume...The editorial dream - assembling a large group of contributors, each producing a well-written and researched perspective on a valuable joint product - has been clearly realized in this publication. Freshly produced articles and books in the field of International Law tend to be rather specialized. The editors have herein produced a literary gem. It combines specialized analyses, in a volume that serves the international community of scholars and diplomats, with completeness of coverage on the general issue of the potential for a world actually governed by the same constitute regime.'
