Over the past two decades, liberal constitutionalism has been in decline. Yet some courts - including the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of India, and the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal - have continued to progressively realize the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons.

Paul WRAGG

What does free speech mean? In this book, Paul Wragg argues for a universal formulation of free speech drawn exclusively from autonomy. He demonstrates that although the right has some applicability to the horizontal plane, it is more restrictive in some contexts, and more empowering in others, than the literature presently recognises.

Adam TOMKINS

This book considers whether Parliament recognises a constitutional right to property. It reviews legislation and debates from the Middle Ages through to more recent legislation, and covers a wide range of topics, such as land reform, nationalisation, taxation, regulatory laws and retrospection. It also looks at the most recent debates and considers the relevance of constitutional thinking to recent election manifestos of the main political parties.

Dieter GRIMM

This is a collection of essays from Dieter Grimm, one of Germany’s most important constitutional lawyers.

Is it a threat to or a condition of democracy? Should these courts be abolished or strengthened? Is a rational interpretation of constitutional law possible?
