Reviews
`'One reads in Somek's pages an absorbing critical genealogy of the modern constitutional project.'' Frank Michelman, Constellations `'Somek's diagnosis of the current state of constitutional theorizing is at once compelling and provocative. What is truly remarkable about this book is the way Somek links debates about constitutionalism to global forces in a way no one else does. This is an extraordinary achievement. Even if one disagrees with the thesis, the arguments must be taken seriously. No one else in constitutional or legal theory is writing anything like this. Quite simply, this is a book no one can ignore.'' Dennis Patterson, Constitutional Commentary
