Description

Synopsis:

Sustainable Goals: Role of Deliberative Constitutionalism

Authored by Dr. Pauly Mathew Muricken, this book explores the intersection of constitutionalism, deliberative democracy, and sustainable development goals (SDGs). It provides a comprehensive examination of how deliberative constitutionalism—a concept combining constitutional principles with democratic deliberation—can help address legal, social, and governance challenges to achieve the United Nations’ SDGs by 2030. Through an anthology of essays, the book delves into issues of health, education, environmental protection, gender equality, social justice, minority rights, and digital freedom. With insightful analysis and thought-provoking arguments, the book emphasizes the need for public deliberation and constitutional principles to ensure equity, justice, and sustainability in policy-making and governance.

The foreword by Dr. Justice K. Narayana Kurup and contributions from other experts make this work an invaluable resource for students, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in constitutional law and sustainable development.
