The \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e offers a critical analysis of some of the most significant aspects of Australian constitutional arrangements, setting them against the historical, legal, political, and social contexts in which Australia's constitutional system has developed. It takes care to highlight the distinctive features of the Australian constitutional system by placing the Australian system, where possible, in global perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters of the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e are arranged in seven thematically-grouped parts. The first, 'Foundations', deals with aspects of Australian history which have influenced constitutional arrangements. The second, 'Constitutional Domain', addresses the interaction between the constitution and other relevant legal systems and orders, including the common law, international law, and state constitutions. The third, 'Themes', identifies themes of special constitutional significance, including the legitimacy of the constitution, citizenship, and republicanism. The fourth, 'Practice and Process', deals with practical issues relevant to constitutional litigation, including the processes, techniques, and authority of the High Court of Australia. The final three parts deal with the structural building blocks of the Australian Constitutional system: 'Separation of Powers', 'Federalism', and the 'Protection of Rights.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten by a team of experts drawn from academia and practice, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e provides Australian and international readers alike with a reliable source of knowledge, understanding, and insight into the Australian Constitution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheryl Saunders, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Melbourne\u003c\/em\u003e, Adrienne Stone, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Melbourne\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCheryl Saunders is a laureate professor emeritus at Melbourne Law School. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdrienne Stone is a Laureate Professor and Director of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies at Melbourne Law School.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.17 x 9.64 x 6.94 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47566216167645,"sku":"9780198738442","price":102.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/LRgE00yCPX9780198738442.webp?v=1773310644","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-australian-constitution-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
