The author displays the complex constitutional history of Serbia as a case study, following the evolution of the most important concepts such as human rights and the rule of law. The first part of the book ("Developments") displays the main events as a chronological narrative, also giving a sketch of the history of Serbian legal institutions. The second part ("The Evolution of Constitutionalism") follows the evolution of two principal constitutional concepts i.e. human rights and the rule of law in Serbia. The third part ("Serbia and Yugoslavia") analyses the specific historical dimensions of Serbian constitutionalism in its relationship with the history of the Balkan peninsula.
