In addition to the economic miracle, with surprising growth in the
1970s and 1980s, Taiwan has further shown the world two others. One
is the democratic miracle which brought about a silent revolution
from notorious authoritarian regime to full democracy in Asia.
Intertwined with that miracle is the constitutional one, in which
political reform was undertaken in a constitutional manner and
through constitutional means. Indeed, Taiwan's transition to
democracy was made possible by incremental constitutional
revisions, courts responsive to changing dynamics, and a civil
society engaged in the project of constitutional transformation.
These changes ushered in the unprecedented development of a
transitional and transnational constitutionalism. This volume seeks
to explain the drivers and context of these constitutional
transformations. Democratisation, indigenisation and globalisation
all drove the transformation of an externally imposed constitution
into an internally embraced, vibrant constitution. The changes
analysed in this volume include institutional shifts from a cabinet
system to a semi-presidential one; from three parliaments to one;
from manipulated central-local relations to a functional
federalism; from a Constitutional Court that merely rubber-stamped
to one that is responsive and supports social and political
dialogues. More importantly, this volume details how a short list
of constitutional rights has been transformed to a burgeoning
rights-based discourse engaged by civil society.
