Morena,

We have recently subscribed to the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law.

It is a new database by OUP which looks at legal topics in different jurisdictions. It also gives a really good legal overview of topics that often come up for our students but it also has good overview of some topics that our students might need introductory material or need to look at another jurisdiction/country. Some examples I’ve noted (that might be usual for other subjects) are abortion, presidential systems, primary education and freedom of art.

There are currently 70 titles (i.e. chapters) but they have 570 planned so it will grow.

Have a look! http://oxcon.ouplaw.com.ezproxy.canterbury.ac.nz/home/MPECCOL

Thanks
