{"product_id":"a-constitutional-history-of-the-noel-cox-9783639008777","title":"A Constitutional History of the New Zealand Monarchy","description":"The twentieth century saw the evolution of the former British Empire into a collection of independent countries. Many of these retain the Sovereign of the United Kingdom as their Queen. Using New Zealand as an example, this book examines the development of the Crown as a distinct constitutional entity. The concept of the Crown has often been of greater importance than the person of the Sovereign, or that of the Governor-General. The existence of the Crown has also contributed to, rather than impeded, the independence of New Zealand, and other realms, through the division of imperial prerogative powers. The very physical absence of the Sovereign, and the all-pervading nature of the legal concept of the Crown, have also contributed to development of that institution as a truly national organ of government. In New Zealand in particular this has been encouraged by conceptual confusion over the symbolism and identity of the Crown. The book is of value to students and researchers in constitutional law and history, indigenous rights and post-colonialism, and comparative politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noel Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639008774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639008777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Noel Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440335302911,"sku":"9783639008777","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3df8149-331e-438e-8ce7-64792f5476d9.jpg?v=1777181766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-constitutional-history-of-the-noel-cox-9783639008777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
