The Challenge of Stability: Niklas Luhmann's Early Political Sociology and Constitutional Adjudication in the United States and Germany

Abstract

Niklas Luhmann's early systems-theoretical conception of functional differentiation holds both normative and empirical insights for our understanding of constitutional adjudication.

Niklas Luhmann's early systems-theoretical conception of functional differentiation holds both normative and empirical insights for our understanding of constitutional adjudication.

To illustrate this potential, this book applies "Legitimation durch Verfahren" in particular and Luhmann's early systems theory in general to Germany's Federal Constitutional Court and the United States Supreme Court.... view less
