dc.description.abstract |
At the centre of the constitutional orders of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the
United Kingdom stands a familiar icon and a usually unquestioned source of
authority: the Crown. Yet that easy familiarity conceals a potent and paradoxical
enigma. For some analysts the Crown is a shapeshifting anomaly: not simply a
conceptual placeholder for the state, but also a constitutional fiction and mask for
the extensive use of executive power, often used in ways that undermine proper
democratic accountability.
In this special issue, researchers from several disciplines, including law, politics and
anthropology, use the Crown as a lens to examine fundamental theoretical questions
about sovereignty, statehood, constitutionalism and postcolonial reconciliation. Legal
interest is now being complemented by studies of the Crown as a socio-political
institution and cultural entity, and as the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II
approaches, questions about constitutional monarchy and reform may acquire a new
sense of urgency. |
