The editor has the great merit... of bringing out a significant portion of the work of Dicey that remained in the shadows, not without having conferred a systematic layout to materials that... inevitably remain fragmentary and incomplete... The work of the great English jurist, especially developed in unpublished materials compiled in [this] volume, is presented to the reader as a pioneering experiment, the cutting edge, even if left largely unfinished. * Marta Cartabia, Vice President, Constitutional Court of Italy *\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent snapshot view of western constitutional law as it stood at the end of the nineteenth century... The great scienti- c value of Comparative Constitutionalism is beyond doubt. The book would deserve to stand, along with Maitland's Constitutional History of England and some of James Bryce's own works, among the classics of later Victorian constitutional science. * Denis Baranger, Université Panthéon-Assas, Paris II *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor's Introduction Part I: The Comparative Study of the Constitution Introduction 1: General Characteristics of Existing English Constitutionalism (May 1897) 2: Constitutionalism of the Commonwealth (June 1897) 3: English Constitutionalism under George III (undated) 4: American Constitutionalism (May 1897) 5: French Constitutionalism (May 1897) (with Appendix, Droit Administratif and Constitution of Year VIII, Art. 75) 6: Prussian Constitutionalism (May 1897) 7: Party Government (July 1898) 8: Parliamentarism (August 1898) 9: General Conclusions (May 1897) Part II: The Comparative Study of Constitutions Introduction 1: Historical and Non-Historical Constitutions 2: Ancient Constitutionalism and Modern Constitutionalism 3: Representative Government 4: The Separation of Powers 5: Divisions of Constitutions 6: The Judiciary in Relation to the Executive and Legislative Powers 7: Local Government and Centralization 8: Federal Government 9: Federal Government (continued): The Australian Commonwealth Appendices I: Memorandum on English Party System of Government II: Lecture 4: Comparison of English Executive with other Executives or Parliamentary and Non-Parliamentary Executives III: Note 2: Self Government and Note 3: Self Government and Local Self Government IV: Modes of Changing or Amending a Constitution V: Authorities and Questions for The Comparative Study of Constitutions VI: Note 17: Conclusions as to Droit Administratif VII: Why Universal Suffrage Suits France VIII: Scheme of Lectures, 1906 IX: Scheme of Lectures, 1908","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742148231511,"sku":"9780198842613","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198842613.jpg?v=1758380787","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/comparative-constitutionalism-9780198842613","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
