The Constitution of the Republic of Austria : A Contextual Analysis Paperback / softback
by Manfred (University of Vienna, Austria) Stelzer
Part of the Constitutional Systems of the World series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book shows how the Austrian Constitution has been shaped and interpreted by the fundamental events in Austria's modern history.
At the same time it emphasises the way in which the Constitution establishes a parliamentary system, with additional presidential features, limited, in turn, by Austria's federal structure and the parliaments of nine states.
It charts the history and character of the constitution; the political structure; the legislative and executive branches of the federal government; public bodies; jurisdiction and fundamental Rights.
This new edition explores the changing political landscape, particularly the development of a more competitive party system.
It also looks at the response to COVID and the jurisprudence of the Austrian Constitutional Court in the face of the curtailment of rights in order to curb the pandemic.
Offering the trademark combination of clarity of explanation and rigour of analysis that defines the series, this is an excellent guide to a fascinating constitutional structure.
