It argues that despite its outwardly monarchic form the constitution is profoundly informed, and indeed shaped, by values and practices of republicanism. The republican reading of the constitution presented in this book places political accountability at the core of the constitutional order. As such, Our Republican Constitution offers a powerful rejoinder to the current trend in legal scholarship that sees the common law and the courts, rather than Parliament, as the central players in holding government to account. The book further contends that while the constitution should be understood as having republican foundations, current constitutional practice is, in a number of respects, insufficiently republican in character. The book closes by outlining a programme of republican constitutional reform that is designed to secure genuinely responsible government. This is an original and provocative reinterpretation of the central themes of the British constitution, drawing on constitutional history (especially of the seventeenth century), political theory and public law 606 $aConstitutional law$zGreat Britain 606 $2Constitutional & administrative law 606 $aRepublicanism$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aRepublicanism 676 $a342.4102 700 $aTomkins$b Adam$0293997 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451322203321 996 $aOur republican constitution$92470643 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03442nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9910459871603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-76405-5 010 $a9786612764059 010 $a0-520-94777-0 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520947771 035 $a(CKB)2670000000043915 035 $a(EBL)579798 035 $a(OCoLC)673517997 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000424999 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11281184 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000424999 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10476568 035 $a(PQKB)11452802 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055811 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC579798 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse31078 035 $a(DE-B1597)520823 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520947771 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL579798 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10412736 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL276405 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000043915 100 $a20091217d2010 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPeasant and empire in Christian North Africa$b[electronic resource] /$fLeslie Dossey 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (376 p.) 225 1 $aThe transformation of the classical heritage ;$v47 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-520-25439-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tList of Illustrations -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tAbbreviations -- $tIntroduction -- $t1.

Making use of detailed archaeological and textual evidence, Leslie Dossey examines the peasantry in relation to the upper classes in Christian North Africa, tracing that region's social and cultural history from the Punic times to the eve of the Islamic conquest. She demonstrates that during the period when Christianity was spreading to both city and countryside in North Africa, a convergence of economic interests narrowed the gap between the rustici and the urbani, creating a consumer revolution of sorts among the peasants. This book's postcolonial perspective points to the empowerment of the North African peasants and gives voice to lower social classes across the Roman world. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v47. 606 $aPeasants$zAfrica, North$xHistory 607 $aRome$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPeasants$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/6330939709015 700 $aDossey$b Leslie$f1968-$01048248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459871603321 996 $aPeasant and empire in Christian North Africa$92476425 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03223nam 22005291 450 001 9910132454603321 005 20200514202323.0 010 $a9781849665469 010 $a184966546X 024 7 $a10.5040/9781849665469 035 $a(CKB)3680000000164650 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000632116 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11386493 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000632116 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10599674 035 $a(PQKB)11632594 035 $a(OCoLC)774293546 035 $a(UkLoBP)bpp09257366 035 $a(UkLoBP)BP9781849665469BC 035 $a(EXLCZ)993680000000164650 100 $a20140929d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmu#---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aArguing about the world $ethe work and legacy of Meghnad Desai /$fedited by Mary Kaldor and Polly Vizard 210 1$aLondon :$cBloomsbury,$d2011. 215 $a1 online resource (157 pages) $cdigital 300 $aBibliographic level mode of issuance: monograph 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aChapter 1.
