Now out: Handbook of Constitutional Law

For international audiences open to transnational and comparative legal thought

Good things come to those who wait. The Handbook of Constitutional Law has now been published by Beck Verlag.

As the first comprehensive academic presentation of German constitutional law in English, this volume brings together contributions from many of Germany’s foremost constitutional scholars. Their collective aim is to promote transnational constitutional dialogue. Foreign readers are introduced to German constitutional law through comparative and international reference points and through reflection on the preconditions and legal-cultural frameworks informing the German debate.

Aimed at expert audiences in Germany and abroad, this book speaks to those interested in comparative and cross-jurisdictional legal discourse.

The book was co-edited by:

• Matthias Herdegen, Director of the Institute for Public Law and the Institute for International Law at the University of Bonn,
• Johannes Masing, Former judge of the Federal Constitutional Court,
• Ralf Poscher, Head of the Department of Public Law and Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law,
• Klaus Ferdinand Gärditz, Professor of Public Law at the University of Bonn.
