Zusammenfassung:In this ground-breaking book, renowned constitutional scholar Ran Hirschl describes "constitutional theocracy," a new, hybrid form of government that has emerged from an overlapping of two parallel trends during the 20th century: the rise in political religion on the one hand and the spread of constitutional forms of government to most countries in the world on the other. Hirschl delivers two blockbuster theses: That in most constitutional theocracies, 1) courts are the primary secular agents of government, and 2) the electorate usually has a choice between a secular party that is against redistribution of wealth and a more theological party that supports redistribution. This last thesis, especially, will be news to many of the book's American readers, who are accustomed to a theological politics stridently opposed to redistribution
