World Constitutions: A Comparative Study by Vishnoo Bhagwan, Vidya Bhushan & Vandana Mohla (9789386245144)
The 11th revised and enlarged edition of World Constitutions is a monumental work by our seasoned authors and dedicated teachers of their times. The voluminous book portrays conceptual and legal framework of Parliamentary and Presidential democracies. The inevitable triumph of Conservatives in UK in 2015 General Election saw installation of David Cameron as the Prime Minister with an outright majority. His resignation brought an abrupt end to six years premiership after 52% of the British public turned their back on European Union. After Cameron, Theresa May became the Prime Minister. Her call for snap polls three years ahead of time stunned everyone.
The disastrous results left Theresa May clinging onto power by taking the support of DUP. In the USA, Donald Trump took office as the 45th President and Mike Pence as the 48th Vice President on January 20, 2017. All the pre-election forecasts had considered a Trump victory unlikely. He is the first President without any prior experience in public service or military. Trumps philosophy of ?America First? is likely to increase anti-American sentiments. The defeat of Hollande was due to lack of economic development and domestic issues during his tenure and made him the most unpopular President in French history.
He endorsed Macron?s name for the election of 2017. The 39 year old Macron is the youngest President of France. The change in leadership of China in March 2013 – Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang ? coming at the helm of affairs boosts the morale of the Chinese. They pin high hopes in the pioneers of economic reforms. Shinzo Abe, termed as a hawkish leader, was re-elected as Japan?s Prime Minister in Dec 2014. He is a claimant of tough diplomacy while fixing Japanese economy. Canadian constitution continues to retain a federal structure and its dominion status. Queen of UK remains the Head of State. However, their Parliamentary democracy remains intact and the Senate remains the sleeping beauty.
