CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN TWO WORLDS SOTH AFRICA AND THE UNITES STATES
KENDE M. wydawnictwo: CAMBRIDGE, 2010, wydanie I cena netto: 130.00 Twoja cena 123,50 zł + 5% vat - dodaj do koszyka The South African Constitutional Court has issued internationally prominent
decisions abolishing the death penalty, enforcing socio-economic rights, allowing gay
marriage and promoting equality. These decisions are striking given the country's
apartheid past and the absence of a grand human rights tradition. By contrast, the US
Supreme Court has generally ruled more conservatively on similar questions. This book
examines the Constitutional Court in detail to determine how it has functioned during
South Africa's transition and compares its rulings to those of the US Supreme Court on
similar rights issues. The book also analyzes the scholarly debate about the
Constitutional Court taking place in South Africa. It furthermore addresses the arguments
of those international scholars who have suggested that constitutional courts do not
generally bring about social change. In the end, the book highlights a transformative
pragmatic method of constitutional interpretation – a method the US Supreme Court could
employ.
