Constitutionalism Summary

Constitutionalism: Past, Present, and Future by Dieter Grimm (Professor of Law and former Justice Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, Professor of Law and former Justice Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, Humboldt University Berlin)

Constitutionalism: Past, Present, and Future is the definitive collection of Dieter Grimm's most influential writings on constitutional thought and interpretation. The essays included in this volume explore the conditions under which the modern constitution could emerge; they treat the characteristics that must be given if the constitution may be called an achievement, the appropriate way to understand and interpret constitutional law under current conditions, the function of judicial review, the remaining role of national constitutions in a changing world, as well as the possibility of supra-national constitutionalism. Many of these essays have influenced the German and European discussion on constitutionalism and for the first time, much of the work of one of German's leading scholars of public law will be available in the English language.

Constitutionalism Reviews

Dieter Grimm has been a leading international theorist of the history, nature, and prospects of constitutionalism. His work is of deep relevance to significant modern phenomena, like the European Union. This book brings together and synthesizes more than two decades of work. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with issues of contemporary constitutionalism. * Robert Post, Dean and Sol & Lillian Goldman Professor of Law, Yale Law School *
Out of a series of deeply informed, tightly reasoned reflections on modern constitutionalism, Dieter Grimm distills his own brand of moderately contentious, guardedly optimistic constitutional wisdom for the present day. An added attraction is the access some chapters provide for Anglophone readers to past and present German scholarly debates and juridical solutions. * Frank I. Michelman, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Emeritus, Harvard Law School *
For those seeking to understand the conditions in which modern constitutions emerged and the changing conditions in which they now operate, these elegant essays are rewarding reading. Filled with insights from a lifetime of learning and devotion to constitutional law - in Germany, Europe, and elsewhere - they are at once synthetic and provocative, offering intriguing analyses of the challenges posed by the expanded risk-prevention tasks of contemporary governance (and related 'negotiative democracy') and by the regionalization and globalization of legal orders. * Vicki C. Jackson, Thurgood Marshall Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School *
