Political Science : Constitutions

There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism', is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century. more...

The Constitutional Documents of Austria, Hungary and Lichtenstein are now being published as Volume 2. This volume contains a collection of 39 of the most important constitutional documents of Austria, Hungary and Lichtenstein. The 22 Austrian constitutional texts of the years 1816 to 1849 were edited by the constitutional historian Ilse Reiter. They include the “Austrian constitution” (Verfassung von Österreich) from 1848 and the “Austrian patent of basic rights” (Grundrechtspatent von Österreich), published in 1849, in which real basic rights were granted for the first time, under the pressure of liberal public opinion, but at the same time were severely limited by vague definitions. In Hungary eleven constitutional documents were published in the period from 1791 to 1848. A strong liberal and national movement, directed against Austria, developed in the Kingdom of Hungary after 1806. This is reflected in the constitutional texts, in which Hungarian replaced Latin as the official language in the 1840s. The historian András Cieger edited the documents. Six constitutional texts and regulations are recorded from Liechtenstein, which had been part of the Deutscher Bund (German Union) since 1815. They were edited and annotated by the archivist and historian Paul Vogt. In this volume, a complete, authentic, annotated collection of historical constitutional texts is available for the first time to researchers, lecturers and students of history, political science, political philosophy, sociology and constitutional law. This unique and fundamental source edition documents extensively the constitutions of Austria, Hungary and Lichtenstein. At the same time, it supplements the microfiche edition Constitutions of the World 1850 to the Present, also published by K. G. Saur Verlag. more...
