Azubike Onuora-Oguno, "Promoting Efficiency in Jurisprudence and Constitutional Development in Africa"
English | ISBN: 3031138139 | 2023 | 368 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book eulogises a personality that has constructed a formidable scholarly and personal legacy that future generations of legal practitioners and socio-legal scholars in Africa should look to for guidance and inspiration. Divided into three parts, the book deals with a longstanding legal practice and scholarship on the role of international law and institutions. Additionally, the book discussed roles of an African scholar and practitioner to advance socio-economic and cultural rights across the continent, through contextualised, progressive adjudication and from a gendered perspective. Finally, the book examined the importance of early-childhood education and legal education alike, the role of the courts in redressing these concerns and the need for greater inclusion of Afro and queer-sensitive pedagogies and perspectives. Contributors to the book address the role of schools in redressing systemic marginalisation―including stigmatisation based on disability―and efforts to translate their rights as prescribed in national constitutions and international legal instruments. The methodology encompasses a TWAIL approach and the call to revisit orthodox approaches to legal scholarship.

Matej Avbelj, Jan Komárek, Birke Häcker, "Constitutional Pluralism in the European Union and Beyond"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1849461252 | EPUB | pages: 452 | 2.1 mb
Constitutional pluralism has become immensely popular among scholars who study European integration and issues of global governance. Some of them believe that constitutionalism, traditionally thought to be bound to a nation state, can emerge beyond state borders - most importantly in the process of European integration, but also beyond that, for example, in international regulatory regimes such as the WTO, or international systems of fundamental rights protection, such as the European Convention.

Paul E. Herron, "Framing the Solid South: The State Constitutional Conventions of Secession, Reconstruction, and Redemption, 1860-1902"
English | ISBN: 0700624376 | 2017 | 272 pages | EPUB | 1362 KB
The South was not always the South. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, those below the Potomac River, for all their cultural and economic similarities, did not hold a separate political identity. How this changed, and how the South came to be a political entity that coheres to this day, emerges clearly in this book-the first comprehensive account of the Civil War Era and late nineteenth century state constitutional conventions that forever transformed southern politics.

John Dinan, "State Constitutional Politics: Governing by Amendment in the American States"
English | ISBN: 022653281X | 2018 | 368 pages | EPUB | 568 KB
Since the US Constitution came into force in 1789, it has been amended just twenty-seven times, with ten of those amendments coming in the first two years following ratification. By contrast, state constitutions have been completely rewritten on a regular basis, and the current documents have been amended on average 150 times. This is because federal amendments are difficult, so politicians rarely focus on enacting them. Rather, they work to secure favorable congressional statutes or Supreme Court decisions. By contrast, the relative ease of state amendment processes makes them a realistic and regular vehicle for seeking change.

James Madison, Edward J. Larson, Michael P. Winship, "The Constitutional Convention: A Narrative History from the Notes of James Madison"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0812975170 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 1.9 mb
In 1787, the American union was in disarray. The incompatible demands of the separate states threatened its existence; some states were even in danger of turning into the kind of tyranny they had so recently deposed. A truly national government was needed, one that could raise money, regulate commerce, and defend the states against foreign threats-without becoming as overbearing as England. So thirty-six-year-old James Madison believed. That summer, the Virginian was instrumental in organizing the Constitutional Convention, in which one of the world's greatest documents would be debated, created, and signed. Inspired by a sense of history in the making, he kept the most extensive notes of any attendee.Now two esteemed scholars have made these minutes accessible to everyone. Presented with modern punctuation and spelling, judicious cuts, and helpful notes-plus fascinating background information on every delegate and an overview of the tumultuous times-here is the great drama of how the Constitution came to be, from the opening statements to the final votes. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also includes an Introduction and appendices from the authors.
