Reviews

A Civil Society with no Hierarchy: The Covenantal Societal Model is an extremely interesting book, edited by Livni and Badescu - who also contributed with their main research chapters - about the role of covenants in the historical, sociological, and legal development of various societies since antiquity and until modern times. The relationship between covenants, assembly and self-government, and federalism adds further interest and contemporary relevance to the reading of this excellent book. -- Mario Sznajder, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
