Constitutions and political theory is a concise textbook offering a omprehensive analysis of the principal-agent problematic inherent in all forms of politics. It shows how rule of law institutions come in two forms that restrain opportunism in politics. And it traces the principal-agent perspective back to constitutionalism in political thought. -- .
