The book proceeds to demonstrate how the legal and judicial process can proceed if the law-is-politics critique is taken seriously. Insisting that it cannot be business as usual, the author offers a series of constructive proposals about how constitutional law and judicial decision-making can continue in anything like their present format and style. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecognising that a more radical approach could be taken to the way in which democracy might re-organise, the book runs with the idea that it is possible to incorporate and accommodate the law-is-politics argument within a governmental system of constitutional democracy that resembles closely what now occurs. In that sense, the book is both critical and constructive as well as principled and pragmatic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan C Hutchinson\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Research Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, Canada.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51676166750482,"sku":"9781509985326","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d49b6919-9737-4769-9c6f-b3552f75e6e0.jpg?v=1761047603","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/rethinking-legitimacy-courts-constitutions-and-politics-9781509985326","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
