Beyond Camelot: Rethinking Politics and Law for the Modern State (Érase una vez Camelot – pero, ¿sigue siendo en el Estado moderno?)
Summary: In Beyond Camelot: Rethinking Politics and Law for the Modern State, Edward L. Rubin delivers an analysis of the ideas and principles of the Modern State by comparing them to their origins traced to the “escapist fantasy” that once was Camelot. He brings this comparison to relevance by posing the question: Do these ideas and principles still exist in the American government or has the Arthurian round table disappeared? To begin unveiling this question, which will be the main focus of his book, he uses one of the most emblematical quotes of American political history: “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.” In the following article, we will present a brief summary of professor Edward Rubin’s book: first by giving a general overview of the subjects addressed in Beyond Camelot, and by explaining the way the author presents his ideas; or in other words, the author’s unique methodology, which enables the reader to build his own point of view on the subjects at hand. Secondly, we will recap four of the ideas of the book - because according to the development the autor provides to them, these concepts end up having great relevance towards Colombian administrative law.
