Balancing Constitutional Rights - The Origins and Meanings of Postwar Legal Discourse - Jacco Bomhoff - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press -

Taking post-war US and German constitutional jurisprudence as detailed case studies, this book is the first to argue that this familiar language has radically different meanings in different settings.
