His work offers a radically new perspective on some of the most pressing constitutional issues of our day  such as the regulation of racist speech  pornography  and privacy.  Drawing on work in sociology  philosophy  and political theory  Post demonstrates that the law establishes distinct and competing forms of social order: democracy  in which the law embodies the possibilities of collective self-determination; community  in which the law articulates and enforces a common social identity; and management  in which the law creates the conditions for accomplishing specific goals. Debates over the boundaries between these distinct domains  Post argues  are central to some of the most intractable problems of modern constitutional law. Here we see  for instance  how the controversy over the regulation of racist speech negotiates the boundary between communitarian and democratic forms of social ordering. We see how public forum doctrine  a crucial but notoriously mysterious component of First Amendment jurisprudence  arbitrates distinctions between the social domains of democracy and management. Taking up specific court cases  such as that against Hustler magazine and that allowing prayers before state legislatures  Post shows us what is actually at stake in these constitutional struggles.  A highly complex and sophisticated account of the operation of constitutional law in modern society  Constitutional Domains is essential reading for lawyers  social theorists  and makers of public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647156052021,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674165454","price":233.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674165458.jpg?v=1781689499","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/constitutional-domains-democracy-community-management-9780674165458","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
