The Promise of Human Rights: Constitutional Government, Democratic Legitimacy, and International Law (Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights)

Jamie Mayerfeld defends international human rights law as an extension of domestic checks and balances and therefore necessary to constitutional government. The book combines theoretical reflections on democracy and constitutionalism with a case study of the contrasting human rights policies of Europe and the United States.
