This is the only remaining work by Carl Schmitt which has not yet been translated into English.\u003cbr\u003eNow available in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eDictatorship\u003c\/i\u003e is Carl Schmitt’s most scholarly book and arguably a paradigm for his entire work. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Written shortly after the Russian Revolution and the First World War, Schmitt analyses the problem of the state of emergency and the power of the Reichspräsident in declaring it. Dictatorship, Schmitt argues, is a necessary legal institution in constitutional law and has been wrongly portrayed as just the arbitrary rule of a so-called dictator. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDictatorship\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential book for understanding the work of Carl Schmitt and a major contribution to the modern theory of a democratic, constitutional state. And despite being written in the early part of the twentieth century, it speaks with remarkable prescience to our contemporary political concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30385853628513,"sku":"9780745646480","price":19.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28979949.jpg?v=1723109232","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780745646480-dictatorship","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
