The Constitution of Finland: A Contextual Analysis

Angebote / Angebote:

Finland is a small modern Nordic country with a politically stable welfare system and a constitutional history dating back to the 1700s. The constitutional system, which contains features retained from the years of Swedish and Russian rule, was reconstituted by the arrival of independence in 1917, and was reformed by the Constitution Act (Perustuslaki) in 2000. The system, which is formally rigid but actually flexible, is characterized by unique tensions, including parliamentarism versus presidentialism, and a high level of constitutionalism versus the virtual absence of judicial review. This book - part of the Constitutional Systems of the World series by Hart Publishing, Oxford - offers an introduction to the history and current content of the Finnish Constitution, including chapters on the constitutional background, democratic institutions and their functions, judicial institutions and their role in securing the rule of law, fundamental rights, and future directions and challenges.
