{"product_id":"constitutionalism-and-democracy-jon-elster-9780521457217","title":"Constitutionalism and Democracy","description":"The eleven essays in this volume, supplemented by an editorial introduction, center around three overlapping problems. First, why would a society want to limit its own sovereign power by imposing constitutional constraints on democratic decision-making? Second, what are the contributions of democracy and constitutions to efficient government? Third, what are the relations among democracy, constitutionalism, and private property? This comprehensive discussion of the problems inherent in constitutional democracy will be of interest to students in a variety of social sciences. It illuminates particularly the current efforts of many countries, especially in Latin America, to establish stable democratic regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Elster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521457211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521457217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.50w x 0.98d","brand":"Jon Elster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056268865791,"sku":"9780521457217","price":78.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8567a0f1-dd5d-4325-8d38-3019ade82109.jpg?v=1685040426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constitutionalism-and-democracy-jon-elster-9780521457217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
