It combines theoretical perspectives on the social and political foundations of constitutions with a range of detailed case studies from nineteen countries. In the first part leading scholars analyse and develop a range of theoretical perspectives, including constitutions as coordination devices, mission statements, contracts, products of domestic power play, transnational documents, and as reflection of the will of the people. In the second part these theories are examined through in-depth case studies of the social and political foundations of constitutions in countries such as Egypt, Nigeria, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, New Zealand, Israel, Argentina and others. The result is a multidimensional study of constitutions as social phenomena and their interaction with other social phenomena. 410 0$aComparative constitutional law and policy. 517 3 $aSocial & Political Foundations of Constitutions 606 $aConstitutional law$xSocial aspects 606 $aConstitutional law$xPolitical aspects 606 $aConstitutions 615 0$aConstitutional law$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aConstitutional law$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aConstitutions. 676 $a342 686 $aLAW018000$2bisacsh 702 $aGalligan$b D.
