Constitutional Violence

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Antoni Abat i Ninet in his compelling book, Constitutional Violence, published by Edinburgh University Press in 2014. With 192 pages of in-depth analysis, this paperback challenges the traditional view of constitutions as the ultimate framework for governance. Abat i Ninet argues that while nearly every state boasts a written constitution, these documents often conceal 'invisible' yet significant violence that undermines human rights and democracy. Through his critical examination, he questions the legitimacy of constitutional systems and advocates for a re-evaluation of their role in promoting justice and peace. This book is essential for anyone interested in the intersections of law, politics, and human rights. Explore how we can strive for a more equitable society by addressing the hidden violence within our legal frameworks.
