Summary:

"This book assembles critical contributions on the work of T.R.S. Allan, the Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence and Public Law at the University of Cambridge whose leading work in legal and constitutional theory spans almost 45 years. Allan's scholarship is powerful yet controversial, and it inspired 20 leading scholars from the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to engage with the central themes of his work. By doing so, the contributors help to make that work accessible to a new generation of scholars and students, and provide a timely framework for engaging in the most important challenges facing our democracies today"-- Provided by publisher.
