Description
This book consists of a collection of essays by several contributors, experts in the field of public law, regarding the Maltese Constitution, sixty years after its promulgation in 1964. The essays cover several aspects of Maltese constitutional law, the history of constitutional development in Malta, the 1964 Independence Constitution, the vicissitudes and crises it has passed through in the last six decades, its flaws and shortcomings, and the part played by the Maltese Constitutional Court in the development of human rights law. It also contains proposals in such areas as parliamentary autonomy, the right to good governance, and others, which seek to make constitutional law and practice more autochthonous, without abandoning the close ties with English public law.
