Comparing Constitutions [Paperback]

A political scientist and a comparative lawyer have joined forces to produce a revised and expanded version of the late F. E. Finer's classicFive Constitutions. Their book gives the present texts of four important constitutions, the American, German, French, and Russian. It adds the basic political structure of the European Union, and provides a full account of the British constitution in the terms revealed by examination of the other texts. A general chapter on comparing constitutions is complemented by careful analytical and alphabetical indexes. This work is a useful reference work for academics and scholars interested in comparative constitutions, politics, and law.

Readers...are strongly advised to have this book on their shelves. All of the authors are well-known for their work in the field of government, constitutions, and comparative law. --Law Books in Review
