"Critically analysing nineteenth-century constitutions in tandem with the political and social circumstances of their creation, enactment, and stated objectives, this book explicitly counters any simplistic narratives asserting that constitutions offer a straightforward, law-based path to increasing democracy, equality and liberty."

"The concepts and values that underpin traditional constitutionalism are increasingly being challenged by political realities that place substantial power beyond the state. Among the few certainties of a global economy is the growing incongruity between the political (the world of things that need to be ordered collectively in order to sustain society) and the state (the major institution of authoritative political decision-making during modern times). The consequences, and possible remedies, of this double disjunction of politics and state and of state and constitution form the centre of an open debate about 'constitutionalism beyond the state'. The essays gathered in this collection explore the range of issues raised by this debate. The effects of recent changes on two of the main building blocks of constitutionalism - statehood and democracy - are examined in Parts I and II. Since the movement of overcoming statehood has, arguably, been advanced furthest in the European context, the question of the future of constitutionalist ideas in the framework of the EU provides the key theme of Part III. The remaining parts consider possible transformations or substitutes. The engagement of constitutions with international law offers one line of transmutation of constitutionalism (Part IV) and the diffusion of constitutionalism into separate social spheres provides an alternative way of pursuing constitutionalism in a new key (Part VI). Finally, the ability of the theory of global administrative law (examined in Part V) to offer an alternative account of the potential of jurisdictional control of global governing processes is examined. Through these explorations, the book offers cross-disciplinary insights into the impact of recent political and economic changes on modern constitutionalism and an assessment of the prospects for constitutionalism in a transnational environment"

"A New Introduction to American Constitutionalism is the first text to study the entirety of American constitutionalism, not just the traces that appear in Supreme Court decisions. Mark A. Graber both explores and offers original answers to such central questions as: What is a Constitution,? What are fundamental constitutional purposes? How are constitutions interpreted? How is constitutional authority allocated? How to constitutions change? How is the Constitution of the United States influenced by international and comparative law? and, most important, How does the Constitution work? Relying on an historical/institutional perspective, the book illustrates how American constitutionalism is a distinct form of politics, rather than a means from separating politics from law."

"Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water and land, and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights."

"Abad ke-21 adalah era perkembangan tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan atau yang dalam bahasa Inggris disebut Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Hal ini didorong oleh perkembangan perusahaan sebagai entitas bisnis dan sosial yang menyeimbangkan kepentingan publik dan swasta. Jika ada keseimbangan kepentingan publik dan swasta di perusahaan, penerapan CSR harus mampu mengakomodasi kepentingan publik. Namun ada sejumlah besar perusahaan di Indonesia yang tidak melibatkan masyarakat dalam perumusan model implementasi CSR. Hal ini mengakibatkan pelaksanaan CSR sering kali menjadi tidak tepat sasaran. Dalam konteks tersebut, teori konstitusionalisme perusahaan menjadi teori yang relevan untuk menjawab masalah ini. Teori konstitusionalisme perusahaan menempatkan musyawarah sebagai salah satu prinsip untuk mencapai legitimasi pengambilan keputusan dalam perusahaan. Melalui proses perumusan musyawarah model CSR dengan masyarakat, bukan hanya kepentingan pemegang saham yang dapat ditampung tetapi juga kepentingan stakeholders. Dengan demikian, CSR sebenarnya dapat berperan dalam menjawab tantangan global dan lokal.

The 21st century is the era of the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is encouraged by the development of the company as a business and societal entities that balances public and private interests. If there is a balance of public and private interests in the company, the application of CSR should be able to accommodate the public interest. However there are a lot of companies in Indonesia that do not involve the community in the formulation of CSR implementation model. This resulted the implementation of CSR which is often not well targeted. In that context, the theory of corporate constitutionalism becomes a relevant theory to answer this problem. The theory of corporate constitutionalism puts deliberation as one of the principles to achieve the legitimacy of decision-making in the corporation. Through a process of deliberation formulation of CSR model with the community, not just the interests of shareholders that can be accommodated but also the interests of stakeholders. Thus, CSR can actually be an instrument solvingto solve the global and local challenges."
