‘The foreword, preface, acknowledgements and introduction constitute the first fifty pages of the handbook. It is clear that the editors were at pains to contextualise, explain and connect the chapters. But the handbook is not only striking for the huge number of authors and pages; its contribution is much deeper.’— Isolde de Villiers, Associate Professor, Department of Public Law and Jurisprudence, University of the Western Cape
