{"product_id":"proportionality-and-constitutional-culture-moshe-cohen-eliya-9781107021860","title":"Proportionality and Constitutional Culture","description":"Although the most important constitutional doctrine worldwide, a thorough cultural and historical examination of proportionality has not taken place until now. This comparison of proportionality with its counterpart in American constitutional law - balancing - shows how culture and history can create deep differences in seemingly similar doctrines. Owing to its historical origin in Germany, proportionality carries to this day a pro-rights association, while the opposite is the case for balancing. In addition, European legal and political culture has shaped proportionality as intrinsic to the state's role in realizing shared values, while in the United States a suspicion-based legal and political culture has shaped balancing in more pragmatic and instrumental terms. Although many argue that the USA should converge on proportionality, the book shows that a complex web of cultural associations make it an unlikely prospect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moshe Cohen-Eliya, Iddo Porat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107021863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107021860\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 06\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Moshe Cohen-Eliya","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067051602175,"sku":"9781107021860","price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01e2d2c1-6d52-4867-9347-c37a2bac9df1.jpg?v=1685410898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proportionality-and-constitutional-culture-moshe-cohen-eliya-9781107021860","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
