Description

The Distorting Lens of Convergent Constitutional Theory by Bloomsbury offers a rigorous critique of the Western-centric paradigm in comparative constitutional studies. This academic work examines why the US-style model is often treated as the universal standard and how this perspective affects our understanding of global legal systems. The book identifies three primary issues within current theory: anachronism, othering, and cultural specificity. It argues that the pillars of convergent constitutional theory are rooted in the late-eighteenth century, creating a framework that struggles to accommodate modern realities. By analyzing how arrangements that deviate from the Western model are often labeled as outliers or dismissed entirely, this text provides a necessary perspective on the limitations of liberal democracy as the sole foundation for constitutionalism.

Key Features

This Bloomsbury publication explores the limitations of the US-style Western constitutional paradigm in comparative studies.

The text analyzes how convergent constitutional theory relies on anachronistic roots from the late-eighteenth century.

Readers will learn how constitutional arrangements deviating from the standard are often branded as outliers.

The book examines the concept of othering and how cultural specificity is treated within legal scholarship.

This Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory volume addresses the lack of space for non-liberal democratic constitutionalism.
