It shows that the genesis of the new legal order was determined by massive Western involvement and an unprecedented movement of export/import of law. Anchored in a detailed comparative study of German and Hungarian constitutional case law on human dignity, this book argues that law importation was a deliberate strategy carried out by the Hungarian Court in the early years of its operation. It explains how the circumstances of the transition and the background of the importers determined the choice of German case law as a model and how the Court used it to construct its own version of the right to human dignity. It highlight the Hungarian Court's instrumentalisation of imported law in order to lay the foundations of a new conception of fundamental rights. While focusing on the Hungarian experience, this book engages with international debates and provides an original theoretical framework for approaching the movement of law from the importers' perspective."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aHuman rights law in perspective ;$vv. 1. 606 $aCivil rights$zGermany 606 $aCivil rights$zHungary 606 $aConstitutional courts$zHungary 606 $2International human rights law 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aConstitutional courts 676 $a347.439/01 700 $aDupre$b Catherine$f1969-$0386999 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784265703321 996 $aImporting the law in post-communist transitions$93721390 997 $aUNINA
