It also poses the question whether that dimension is a political-theological dimension. A positive answer to these questions challenges the prevailing view that constitutional law is to be conceived strictly as law, moreover as written law, approved at a certain point in history by a particular power and interpreted as any other law by the judiciary. The essays included in this book, written by leading scholars in constitutional theory – including Martin Loughlin, Paul Kahn, Manon Altwegg-Boussac and Massimo La Torre – address these questions in a timely and original way.Constitutional lawLaw—EuropePolitical sciencePolitical philosophyEuropean UnionConstitutional Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028European Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000Philosophy of Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E27000Political Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000European Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Constitutional law.Law—Europe.Political science.Political philosophy.European Union.Constitutional Law.European Law.Philosophy of Law.Political Philosophy.European Union Politics.342Nogueira de Brito Migueledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPereira Coutinho Luísedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910410032003321Political Dimension of Constitutional Law1758811UNINA
