Abstract

The Article offers a summary of some of the major themes of Emilios Christodoulidis’s The Redress of Law. In addition, it engages critically with social systems theory by calling into question whether it provides us with an adequate perspective on constitutional law. The concluding observations address the deplorable state of the left-wing project at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
