ABSTRACTThe Redress of Law is an ambitious work that aims to put contemporary constitutional crises under a new theoretical lens. Instead of attributing these crises to the pluralisation of constituencies or constitutional registers in the process of globalisation, Christodoulidis argues that they are induced by ‘market capture’ which occurs not only at the level of constitutional order but also at the metalevel of constitutional reflexivity. Accordingly, this monograph, as ‘a treatise in critical constitutional theory’, contributes to exploring law’s countervailing forces. In this review essay, I explore the reason why constitutional theory should be critical, and whether critical gestures can be compatible with the normative dimension of constitutionalism. As Christodoulidis convincingly demonstrates in this book, critique can protect political constitutionalism from internally being policed by the facticity of necessity and from externally being colonised by the market mentality.KEYWORDS: Critical constitutional theorymarket capturepolitical constitutionalismreflexivitystrategies Notes1 See, eg, Emilios Christodoulidis, ‘Strategies of Rupture’ (2009) 20(1) Law and Critique 3; Emilios Christodoulidis, ‘A “Minfield of Misreckonings”: Europe’s Constitutional Pluralism’ in Catherine Bernard, Markus Gehring, and Iyiola Solanke (eds), Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies 2011–2012, Volume 14 (Hart Publishing, 2012) 119–44; Emilios Christodoulidis, ‘The European Court of Justice and “Total Market” Thinking’ (2013) 14(10) German Law Journal 2005; Emilios Christodoulidis, ‘Social Rights Constitutionalism: An Antagonistic Endorsement’ (2017) 44(1) Journal of Law and Society 123.2 See Emilios Christodoulidis, ‘Against Substitution: The Constitutional Thinking of Dissensus’ in Martin Loughlin and Neil Walker (eds), The Paradox of Constitutionalism: Constituent Power and Constitutional Form (Oxford University Press, 2007) 207.3 See, eg, Nico Krisch, Beyond Constitutionalism: The Pluralist Structure of Postnational Law (Oxford University Press, 2010).4 See, eg, Gunther Teubner, Constitutional Fragments: Societal Constitutionalism and Globalization (Oxford University Press, 2012).5 Dieter Grimm, ‘The Achievement of Constitutionalism and its Prospects in a Changed World’ in Petra Dobner and Martin Loughlin (eds), The Twilight of Constitutionalism?

ABSTRACT Specialists in international tax law tend to adopt a legal positivism perspective. Although not without merit, legal positivism alone offers an incomplete understanding of international tax law for the purposes of legal theory, law-making and practice. In comparing new legal realism with legal positivism, this article will demonstrate how analytical frameworks that incorporate a new legal realism approach can enhance our understanding of international tax law and its concepts, by viewing it through the real-world lens. It will also outline some issues for future empirical analysis that could help to advance legal positivism theory and connect law-making and the practice of international tax law to the real world.
