In this edition of Ernst-Wolfgang Bockenforde's definitive work in constitutionalism, law and politics, readers have access to the legal discourse of one of Germany's leading contemporary theorists and former judge of the federal constitutional court, available in the English language for the first time.
Both as a justice and thinker, Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde is a towering figure in German law and philosophyIt is past time for the English-speaking world to fully confront his remarkable contributions to modern constitutionalism. * Bruce Ackerman, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University *
Few scholars have been as decisive and important to German constitutional thinking as Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde. The translation into English of some of his major works will make a similar contribution to constitutional theorizing well beyond the German-speaking world. Böckenförde falls into the rare category of indispensable scholarship. * J. H. H. Weiler, Joseph Straus Professor of Law and European Union Jean Monnet Chair, New York University School of Law *
This is a major contribution to the debate and should be read by everyone with interests at the intersection of constitutional and political theory. * Kim Lane Scheppele, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs, the Woodrow Wilson School and the University Center for Human Values, Princeton University *
