内容説明

In this collection of lectures and essays with seminal judgments, the author describes a gradual development of the United Kingdom as a constitutional state. Democracy through Law traces the recent phenomenon of the constitutionalisation of public law and analyses the present state of human rights law. Also discussed are topical international law issues including the Pinochet case to "Guantanamo: The Legal Black Hole".
