Western liberal constitutionalism has expanded recently, with, in
East Asia, the constitutional systems of Japan, South Korea and
Taiwan based on Western principles, and with even the socialist
polities of China and Vietnam having some regard to such
principles. Despite the alleged universal applicability of Western
constitutionalism, however, the success of any constitutional
system depends in part on the cultural values, customs and
traditions of the country into which the constitutional system is
planted. This book explains how the values, customs and traditions
of East Asian countries are Confucian, and discusses how this is
relevant to constitutional practice in the region. The book
outlines how constitutionalism has developed in East Asia over a
long period, considers different scholarly work on the ease or
difficulty of integrating Western constitutionalism into countries
with a Confucian outlook, and examines the prospects for such
integration going forward. Throughout, the book covers detailed
aspects of Confucianism and the workings of constitutions in
practice.
