Beskrivning
The second of two volumes, this book situates the drafting of the Irish Constitution within broader transnational constitutional currents. Donal K. Coffey pioneers a new method of draft sequencing in order to track early influences in the drafting process and demonstrate the importance of European influences such as the German, Polish, and Portuguese Constitutions to the Irish drafts. He also analyses the role that religion played in the drafting process, and considers the new institutions of state, such as the presidency and the senate, tracing the genesis of these institutions to other continental constitutions. Together with volume I, Constitutionalism in Ireland, 1932–1938, this book argues that the 1937 Constitution is only explicable within the context of the European and international trends which inspired it.

Recensioner i media

“[Coffey] is almost unique in combining the skills of an expert historian and constitutional lawyer and with these two stunning books he takes this research to an entirely new level. … Coffey has produced two companion volumes which are likely to stand the test of time as the definitive accounts of the drafting of the Constitution. These two volumes combine the assiduous attention to detail of the historian with the lucid and crisp analysis of a profound constitutional scholar.” (Gerard Hogan, Parliaments, Estates and Representation, Vol. 40 (3), 2020)
