In this context, the volume also analyzes the German Constitutional Court, as a crucial institution of government, in comparative perspective. The book is the first full-length English language treatment of these events and these constitutional decisions, and it also places the decisions at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45590240887022,"sku":"9780415443531","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415443531_542711c7-605b-496d-bf77-7c7d26ca82f4.jpg?v=1721232054","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/civil-disobedience-and-the-german-courts","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
