"It is hard to imagine anyone better qualified to write an authoritative book on constitutionalism. Sajó uniquely combines practical experience as a constitutional actor in Hungary and other East/ Central European countries with extraordinary depth and breadth as a comparative constitutionalist and legal theorist. In this book, Sajó brilliantly displays his multiple talents in providing a succinct and profound appraisal of the state of constitutionalism at the eve of the millennium. Drawing on history, philosophy and legal theory and on his vast knowledge of the British, French, German, American and East/ Central European experiences, he distills the essentials of constitutionalism in a clear, lively, incisive and trenchant analysis. Sajó's book is undisputedly a major contribution to the field which will be read by experts as well as by all those who are seriously interested in the fate and prospects of constitutional democracy.
