Bøker av Raymond M Mangion

Professor Raymond Mangion, Head of the Department of Legal History and Methodology at the University of Malta, undertakes the unprecedented task in this book of drawing the constitutional and legislative landscape of Malta between the years 1914 and 1933. This he does with attention to detail, rigour and precision. He brings the story to life by interweaving social developments with the evolution of the constitutions and legislation of Malta. Professor Mangion provides the reader with a dazzling tapestry, full of detail and connections. Themes include the influence of outstanding personalities in law-making, the changing structure of the government, questions of language and the free trade issue. He masterfully demonstrates that the history of pre-Independence British Malta cannot be fully grasped without a clear understanding of the role played by its constitutions and legislation.
