The Cambridge Handbook on the Material Constitution
Despite a long and venerable tradition, the material constitution almost disappeared from constitutional scholarship after the Second World War. Its marginalisation saw the rise of a normative and legalistic style in constitutional law that neglected the role of social reality and political economy. This collection not only retrieves the history and development of the concept of the material constitution, but it tests its theoretical and practica…

Europe’s constitutional retrofit
The various and diverse academic responses to the Conference on the Future of Europe’s efforts at democratic renewal, including those by Ben Crum, Markus Patberg and Sandra Seubert, speak not only to the lack of a clear institutional locus or pathway associated with the Conference, but also to differing understandings of the basic conditions of existence – or political ontology – of the European Union. These differing understandings are reflected…
Distinctions in the Acquisition of Vocabulary and Grammar
Learning language requires acquiring the grammatical categories of words in the language, but learning those categories requires understanding the role of words in the syntax. In this study, we examined how this chicken and egg problem is resolved by learners of an artificial language comprising nouns, verbs, adjectives, and case markers following syntactic rules. We also measured individual differences in declarative and procedural memory proces…
Sovereignty in Action
Habermas's European constitution
Jürgen Habermas has long been one of the EU's most prominent and influential critical friends, engaged as much at the level of legal and political praxis as social theory. In particular, he has a close and complex longstanding interest in the idea of an EU constitution. On the occasion of his 90th birthday, I want to discuss three treatments of the EU constitution located in Habermas's work: constitution as catalyst, as reconstruction, and as ref…

Gender difference and effect of pharmacotherapy
Gender and treatment options were identified as predictors of abstinence at both 4 and 12 weeks after quitting smoking. Furthermore, interactions were observed between gender and (i) type of counselling received (ii) pharmacotherapy. In particular, the quit rate in women at 12 weeks was significantly improved in conjunction with Varenicline use. These findings have implications for service delivery

Through a Glass, Darkly
This article introduces a symposium wherein four well-known scholars reflect upon the work of James Lorimer, the 19th-century Scottish jurist. The articles, by Martti Koskenniemi, Karen Knop, Stephen Neff and Gerry Simpson, emerge from a seminar organized by the Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law to mark the anniversary of Lorimer’s election in 1862 to the Regius Chair in Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations at the University of Edin…
Human Rights
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. A burgeoning human rights movement followed, yielding many treaties and new international institutions and shaping the constitutions and laws of many states. Yet human rights continue to be contested politically and legally and there is substantial philosophical and theoretical debate over their foundations and implications. In this volume, distinguishe…

The Paradox of Constitutionalism
This book examines some of the key features of what may be called the paradox of constitutionalism: whether those who have the authority to make a constitution — the ‘constitutive power’ — can do so without effectively surrendering that authority to the institutional sites of power ‘constituted’ by the constitutional form they enact. In particular, is the constitutive power exhausted in the single constitutive act or does it retain a presence, ac…
Paradox of Constitutionalism
Taking Constitutionalism beyond the State
In recent years, the idea that constitutional modes of government are exclusive to states has become the subject both of sustained challenge and of strong defence. This is due to the development at new regional and global sites of decision-making capacities of a scale and intensity often associated with the demand for constitutional governance at state level, to the supply at these same new sites of certain regulatory institutions and practices o…
Civilizing Security
Security has become a defining feature of contemporary public discourse, permeating the so-called 'war on terror', problems of everyday crime and disorder, the reconstruction of 'weak' or 'failed' states and the dramatic renaissance of the private security industry. But what does it mean for individuals to be secure, and what is the relationship between security and the practices of the modern state? In this timely and important book, Ian Loader …
Necessary virtues
Thus far ... we have no reason to suppose that there is any better general solution to the problem of security, and little, if any, reason to regard any other possible countervailing value as a serious rival to security as the dominant continuing human need. (Dunn 2000: 212) In their recent book Governing Security , Johnston and Shearing pinpoint what they see as a significant shift in criminological writing about ‘the problem of the state’ ( 200…

State of Denial
Policing as a Public Good
The gradual de-coupling of police and state is an increasingly well-documented phenomenon. Against this backdrop, we set out in this article to reformulate and defend a positive (rather than pejorative) connection between policing and the state. We begin by reconstructing four candidate means by which the state-policing nexus might plausibly be established—the monopoly of legitimate coercion, the delivery of civic governance, the guarantee of col…

The Idea of Constitutional Pluralism
Constitutional discourse has perhaps never been more popular, nor more comprehensively challenged than it is today. The development of new constitutional settlements and languages at state and post‐state level has to be balanced against the deepening of a formidable range of sceptical attitudes. These include the claim that constitutionalism remains too state‐centered, overstates its capacity to shape political community, exhibits an inherent nor…

Defining core police tasks
Taking the recent British Home Office Review of Police Core and Ancillary Tasks as its point of departure, the article addresses the failure of official perspectives on policing to address adequately the wider symbolic significance of police institutions and practices. The different ways in which policing can influence wider cultural understandings within both security discourses and non‐security discourses are analysed. In the light of these ins…
Policing and the Supranational
In this article the author examines the broadest regulatory implications of the flow of policing authority from the state towards the supranational EU. The cultural and constitutional context of state and supranational policing are compared, and it is argued that supranational policing, while suffering from various governance problems which are not typically encountered by the state police, nevertheless holds out the prospect of overcoming some d…

The frontiers of constitutional law
This article examines the changing significance of constitutional law in post‐ unification Germany. It asks whether the importance of constitutional discourse and processes within the Federal Republic will be sustained or exceeded in post‐1990 Germany. On the one hand, the emergence in Germany and elsewhere of a politics of cultural identity alongside the traditional left‐right politics suggests an increasingly pivotal role for constitutional law…

II. Justice and Home Affairs
The addition of “Justice and Home Affairs” (JHA) to the list of subjects covered in Current Developments reflects the growing significance of this area of European law and policy within the overall Treaty framework. In this introductory note, a brief account is given of the history of co-operation between EU member States in JHA matters, culminating in the significant changes announced in the Treaty of Amsterdam in October 1997. It is a historica…
