Skapska.In East Central Europe, constitutionalism comprises an effort by postcommunist societies to consolidate around certain values, principles, and rules that would facilitate the formation of a new political architecture as well as a new political identity for their countries. Based primarily on the experience of Poland - in comparison with other East Central European countries - this book debates the specific features of postcommunist constitutionalism. The result is a theory of reflexive constitutionalism (informed by the sociological theory of reflexive modernization) which assesses critically the intellectual resources as well as the consolidating potential of the classic foundations of liberal democracy within the reality of postcommunist transformation.International studies in sociology and social anthropology ;v. 118.Constitutional historyPolandConstitutional historyEurope, CentralConstitutional historyEurope, EasternPost-communismPolandPost-communismEurope, CentralPost-communismEurope, EasternPolandPolitics and government1989-PolandSocial conditions1980-1989Europe, CentralPolitics and government1989-Europe, EasternPolitics and government1989-Constitutional historyConstitutional historyConstitutional historyPost-communismPost-communismPost-communism320.9438Skąpska Grażyna1513589MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781509403321From "civil society" to "Europe"3748166UNINA
