Constitutional Dialogue by Geoffrey Sigalet

Constitutional Dialogue by Geoffrey Sigalet

The metaphor of 'dialogue' has been put to different descriptive and evaluative uses by constitutional and political theorists studying interactions between institutions concerning rights. It has also featured prominently in the opinions of courts and the rhetoric and deliberations of legislators. This volume brings together many of the world's leading constitutional and political theorists to debate the nature and merits of constitutional dialogues between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Constitutional Dialogue explores dialogue's democratic significance, examines its relevance to the functioning and design of constitutional institutions, and covers constitutional dialogues from an international and transnational perspective.

Geoffrey Sigalet is a post-doctoral fellow in the Faculty of Law at Queen's University and a non-resident fellow at the Stanford Constitutional Law Center, Stanford University, California. He completed his Ph.D. in political theory and public law at Princeton University, where his dissertation developed a neo-republican political theory of 'dialogical' judicial review and constitutional interpretation.
