Reviews

Anyone interested in constitutionalism and related matters will find the volume quite absorbing. The Commonwealth Lawyer Vol 16, No 3, December 2007 Both the book's comparative ambition and its substantive focus on the constitutional role of parliaments make it distinctive and are to be welcomed...Comparative constitutional scholarship is in vogue and, in offering a comparative analysis of the roles of parliaments, this book offers a valuable corrective to any tendency in comparative constitutional studies to focusing only on the case law of supreme and constitutional courts. Adam Tomkins Public Law 2008
