{"product_id":"civil-society-constitution-and-legitimacy-andrew-arato-9780847687725","title":"Civil Society, Constitution, and Legitimacy","description":"Spurred by recent governmental transitions from dictatorships to democratic institutions, this highly original work argues that negotiated civil society-oriented transitions have an affinity for a distinctive method of constitution making- one that accomplishes the radical change of institutions through legal continuity. Arato presents a compelling argument that this is the preferred method for rapidly establishing viable democratic institutions, and he contrasts the negotiated model with radical revolutionary change. This exceptionally engaging work will be of interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, constitutional law, and East European studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Arato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847687724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847687725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.85w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2000 pg. 772","brand":"Andrew Arato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063420678399,"sku":"9780847687725","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91ac4833-d148-4f37-bf1b-5bd380750411.jpg?v=1685389445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-society-constitution-and-legitimacy-andrew-arato-9780847687725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
