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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan C.
