Reviews

'It lifts the discussion on proportionality out of the theoretical plane and places in squarely in the realm of the empirical. Their contribution is in other words exceptionally important, in steering the normative debate from a spiral of theoretical debates lifting ever further from the ground, to one shaped by the reality of practice. It is in short a considerable feat of comparative empirical constitutional scholarship.' Liora Lazarus, Associate Professor in Law, University of Oxford 'Originally developed by the German Constitutional Court, proportionality as a tool to examine limitations or infringements of fundamental rights is today discussed worldwide and practiced in more and more countries, albeit in different ways. The comparison of six leading jurisdictions makes this book a foremost source of information on the proportionality principle and a valuable guide for its practical use.' Dieter Grimm, Professor of Law, Humboldt University Berlin and Former Justice of the German Constitutional Court
