Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments – Review of Yaniv Roznai’s Book
Abstract
Yaniv Roznai’s “Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments, The Limits of Amendment Powers” (Oxford University Press, 2017) analyses the increasing tendency in global constitutionalism on limitations of formal amendments to the constitutions. The book starts with a table of jurisprudence, legislation and instruments. It also includes the rules on unamendable provisions of various national constitutions, and a bibliography. Part I of the book concerns comparative constitutional unamendability, Part II deals with the theory of constitutional unamendability, and Part III with enforcing constitutional unamendability. The author offers his views in the conclusion concerning unconstitutional constitutional amendments.
