Audren: The Twilight of Constitutionalism? Edited by Petra Dobner and Martin Loughlin Oxford Univ Press (Oxford Constitutional Theory), feb. 2010, 368 p, ISBN:978-0-19-958500-7, £50 Présentation éditeur Gathers leading figures in constitutional theory to examine one of the central issues in the field - how can constitutional values be adapted to politics beyond the state?Offers fresh contributions to the discussion of the relationship between constitutional law, international law and EU law, of value to those working on the theory of transnational lawBrings together leading scholars from the Germanic and Anglo-American traditions of constitutional theory, furthering the exchange between the two traditionsThe first entry in the new Oxford Constitutional Theory series, showcasing the best new work on the subjectThe concepts and values that underpin traditional constitutionalism are increasingly being challenged by political realities that place substantial power beyond the state. Among the few certainties of a global economy is the growing incongruity between the political (the world of things that need to be ordered collectively in order to sustain society) and the state (the major institution of authoritative political decision-making during modern times). The consequences, and possible remedies, of this double disjunction of politics and state and of state and constitution form the centre of an open debate about 'constitutionalism beyond the state'. The essays gathered in this collection explore the range of issues raised by this debate. The effects of recent changes on two of the main building blocks of constitutionalism - statehood and democracy - are examined in Parts I and II. Since the movement of overcoming statehood has, arguably, been advanced furthest in the European context, the question of the future of constitutionalist ideas in the framework of the EU provides the key theme of Part III. The remaining parts consider possible transformations or substitutes. The engagement of constitutions with international law offers one line of transmutation of constitutionalism (Part IV) and the diffusion of constitutionalism into separate social spheres provides an alternative way of pursuing constitutionalism in a new key (Part VI). Finally, the ability of the theory of global administrative law (examined in Part V) to offer an alternative account of the potential of jurisdictional control of global governing processes is examined.Through these explorations, the book offers cross-disciplinary insights into the impact of recent political and economic changes on modern constitutionalism and an assessment of the prospects for constitutionalism in a transnational environment.Readership: Academics and advanced students working on constitutional theory or the theory of international law.
