The national security constitution
Book • 1990
Harold Koh's The National Security Constitution examines the changing balance of power among the presidency, Congress, and courts in matters of national security and foreign affairs.
Koh traces historical episodes, legal doctrines, and institutional practices from the founding through modern controversies to show how executive authority expanded and how other branches responded.
He advocates for sharing power and reinvigorating checks and balances to better align practice with constitutional design.
The book integrates legal analysis with policy discussions, offering concrete proposals for reform.
It is grounded in Koh's experience in government and scholarship on international law and constitutional law.
