Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments: The Limits of Amendment Powers de Yaniv Roznai

Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments: The Limits of Amendment Powers: Oxford Constitutional Theory

Autor Yaniv Roznai
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 feb 2017

Putem afirma că lucrarea Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments reprezintă un punct de cotitură în teoria dreptului public, propunând un model analitic riguros pentru a soluționa paradoxul amendamentelor care încalcă spiritul constituției. Yaniv Roznai fundamentează premisa că puterea de a modifica o constituție nu este absolută, ci una delegată și, prin urmare, limitată juridic. Autorul demonstrează că, deși o modificare poate respecta toate procedurile formale, aceasta poate fi declarată neconstituțională dacă afectează identitatea sau structura de bază a legământului social.

Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în echilibrul dintre teoria pură și analiza comparativă a jurisprudenței curților supreme de la nivel global. Abordarea diferă de cea din An Unamendable Constitution? de Richard Albert prin faptul că este mai puțin abstractă și mult mai aplicabilă, oferind criterii clare pentru controlul judiciar de fond. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe legitimitatea filosofică a inamendabilității, Roznai oferă instrumente tehnice pentru magistrați și legiuitori.

În contextul operei sale, această carte continuă explorările din Constitutionalism Under Extreme Conditions și Time, Law, and Change, însă mută focusul de la gestionarea crizelor sau a timpului legislativ către nucleul dur al rezilienței democratice. Este o sinteză care transformă conceptele discutate în Deciphering the Genome of Constitutionalism într-un ghid practic despre rolul curților constituționale în protejarea ordinii democratice împotriva abuzurilor puterii politice momentane.

Descriere

Can constitutional amendments be unconstitutional? The problem of 'unconstitutional constitutional amendments' has become one of the most widely debated issues in comparative constitutional theory, constitutional design, and constitutional adjudication. This book describes and analyses the increasing tendency in global constitutionalism to substantively limit formal changes to constitutions. The challenges of constitutional unamendability to constitutional theory become even more complex when constitutional courts enforce such limitations through substantive judicial review of amendments, often resulting in the declaration that these constitutional amendments are 'unconstitutional'.Combining historical comparisons, constitutional theory, and a wide comparative study, Yaniv Roznai sets out to explain what the nature of amendment power is, what its limitations are, and what the role of constitutional courts is and should be when enforcing limitations on constitutional amendments.

Recenzii

This volume by Yaniv Roznai has been received by the constitutional scholars as a decisive contribution to understand how the limits of amendment powers work in democratic constitutions.
The book skilfully introduces the phenomenon of unconstitutional constitutional amendments and provides a sophisticated justification for constitutional unamendability... The book's appeal is not only to those studying constitutional change, but also to scholars of comparative law and comparative politics, as well as those brooding over what it means to uphold democracy. It also promises to be an invaluable reference book with its extensive bibliography... Institutional and personal libraries alike had better make room for Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments.
Roznai's book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of unconstitutional constitutional amendments. Roznai discusses the constitutions containing provisions regarding this fascinating phenomenon (be they express or implied), and the courts' reactions to them. The book provides an in-depth analytical review of the problems that eternity clauses present the political authorities and the courts. This is an excellent book that discusses one of the central problems of modern constitutionalism.
This excellent book is not just another addendum to the list of technical problems handled by constitutional experts. In his analysis of the character of the amending power - 'an exceptional authority, yet a limited one' - Yaniv Roznai reaches the very core of constitutionalism. Setting aside the formal positivistic framework, his rich and illuminating reconstruction of the role of 'the people' and the meaning of democracy in a constitutional polity refreshes and deepens the understanding of liberal democracy. In times when liberal democracy is under severe stress almost everywhere and challenged by advocates of illiberal democracy, this book could not be more timely.
The problem of unconstitutional constitutional amendments is one of the most topical issues in comparative constitutional law. Roznai's book offers a rigorous framework for analysis and a global knowledge base. It is a welcome addition to the literature on constitutional amendment and will be an essential reference for unconstitutional amendments for some time to come.
An unconstitutional constitutional amendment - does it exist? More often than you may have thought. But rarely has it been explored. This book, which truly fills a gap, gives a thorough account of and a theoretical foundation for constitutional unamendabilitya subject that gains more and more importance in modern constitutionalism.
The theory of constitutional amendments has, somewhat surprisingly, emerged as one of the most central questions for contemporary constitutional theory. Providing a comprehensive overview of worldwide practice regarding judicial review of constitutional amendments, Yaniv Roznai offers the most sophisticated theoretical account yet of constitutional amendments. This is a work of fundamental importance to everyone concerned with the basics of constitutional theory.
[Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments] provides a persuasive and both normatively and empirically well-informed contribution to the debate on the limits of constitutional amendments. For its clear-cut normative theory alone, this book is seminal reading and will be an essential reference to scholars of constitutional law and constitutional politics for years to come.
Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments is a work of great breadth and theoretical sophistication. It may well be the final word on the coherence of constitutional unamendability and the legitimacy of judicial review of amendments.
Roznai's comparative constitutional law account makes the book an essential source, not specifically limited to this subject, but also for studies of constitutional theory and constitutional design.
Its absolutely terrific in every way, from its truly dazzling scholarship to the intellectual depth on every page.
Unconstitutional constitutional amendments ... pose a major challenge for public law. Roznai has taken up this challenge and has produced an illuminating analysis of the problem. His book has already been the subject of much praise. Various workshops and conference panels have been devoted to the work and its author. This popularity is well deserved. The book summarizes the previous debate concisely, argues diligently, and makes an innovative contribution to a genuinely difficult problem. Probably the greatest strength of the book is its truly global approach, which sets new standards for comparative constitutional studies. The clarity and rigor of his writing helps Roznai to navigate the reader through dozens of jurisdictions and decades of legal scholarship.
A veritable encyclopaedia of amendatory power and what various apex courts have done (or not done) with it. And for the cognoscenti, it is a rich theory festival. ... this work is of compelling merit; both painstakingly researched, and elegantly presented in a reader-friendly way ... The work offers an embarrassment de riches and for long will be a source of many comparative constitutional theory studies.
