Routledge Handbook of Subnational Constitutions and Constitutionalism Paperback / softback
Edited by Patricia Popelier, Giacomo Delledonne, Nicholas Aroney
Paperback / softback
Description
This handbook provides a toolbox of definitions and typologies to develop a theory of multilevel constitutionalism and subnational constitutions.
The volume examines systems with subnational entities that have full subnational constituent autonomy and systems where subnational constituent powers, while claimed by subnational governments, are incomplete or non-existent.
Understanding why complete subnational constituent power exists or is denied sheds significant light on the status and functioning of subnational constitutions.
The book deals with questions of how constitutions at multiple levels of a political system can co-exist and interact.
The term ‘multilevel constitutionalism’, recognized as explaining how a supranational European constitution can exist alongside those of the Member States, is now used to capture dynamics between constitutions at the national, subnational and, where applicable, supranational levels.
Broad in scope, the book encompasses many different types of multi-tiered systems world-wide to map the possible meanings, uses and challenges of subnational or state constitutions in a variety of political and societal contexts.
The book develops the building blocks of an explanatory theory of subnational constitutionalism and as such will be an essential reference for all those interested in comparative constitutional law, federalism and governance.
