Comparing the structures and challenges of democratic constitutionalism in India and the European Union, this book explores how democracy is possible within vastly diverse societies of continental scale, and why a constitutional framework is best able to secure the ideals of collective autonomy and individual dignity. It contributes to an emerging comparative discussion on structures of power, separation of powers and a comparative law of democracy, which has long been neglected in comparative constitutional studies.

Rule of Law and Areas of Limited Statehood
Domestic and International Dimensions
Edited by Linda Hamid and Jan Wouters
This thought-provoking book addresses the legal questions raised by areas of limited statehood, in which the State lacks the ability to exercise the full depth of its governmental authority. Featuring original contributions written by renowned international scholars, chapters investigate key issues arising at the junction between both domestic and international rule of law and areas of limited statehood, as well as the alternative modes of governance that develop therein.

This book has been written in turbulent times. ‘Revolution’ seems to be one of the keywords of 2020. We are experiencing the simultaneous effects of multiple phenomena which may be defined as revolution. The unfolding of information and technology revolution is obvious with both its advantages and disadvantages. Public discontent is widespread. It takes the shape of discursive disenchantment with the state of affairs, but also the form of revolts and mass disobedience that is close to civil war.
