IEL Constitutional Law

Lawyers representing parties in a foreign jurisdiction or handling a case with foreign elements must become conversant with that jurisdiction’s constitutional law. Additionally academics and researchers will appreciate this guide’s value in the study of comparative constitutional law. Each of the national monographs covers a jurisdiction’s constitution, whether written or unwritten. Covered material includes the following:

• sources of constitutional law (treaties, legislation, case law, unwritten law, regulations);
• State form and subdivisions of the State, component (sub-)states, and decentralized authorities; and
• such specific issues as foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the relationship between Church and State.

This Encyclopaedia also has English versions of Constitutions, with annotations to highlight matters including structure, language, amendments, and relevant statutes and cases. Besides the national monographs and Texts of Constitution, this Encyclopaedia also offers corresponding monographs on sub-national constitutional law.

For quick guides to navigating the constitutional law of a particular jurisdiction, these volumes have no peers.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
