Constituent Power and the Law by Joel Colón-Ríos
This book examines the relationship between constituent power and the law, and the place of the former in constitutional history, drawing from constitutional theory beyond the Anglo-American sphere, with new material made available for the first time to English readers.
.. Colón-Ríos's book is undoubtedly a major advance in scholarship on constituent power … * George Duke, Elisa Arcioni, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *
Colón-Ríos has written the high-theory constitutional analysis for our populist moment: a historically informed, theoretically nuanced investigation into the fraught relation between sovereignty, constituent power, and (constitutional) law that underpins contemporary political conflicts ... Closing his book, Colón-Ríos suggests several possible avenues for future research ... Should anyone take up these proposals, one would hope they model their investigation on what Colón-Ríos has produced: a thorough treatment of the historical and legal record that clearly demarcates the emergent theoretical terrain, and rigorously argues for future development of its insights. * J. Reese Faust, University of Memphis, Contemporary Political Theory *
