Comparative constitutional law is a field of increasing importance
around the world, but much of the literature is focused on Europe,
North America, and English-speaking jurisdictions. The importance
of Asia for the broader field is demonstrated here in original
contributions that look thematically at issues from a general
perspective, with special attention on how they have been treated
in East Asian jurisdictions.The authors - leading comparativists
from around the world - illuminate material from Asian
jurisdictions on matters such as freedom of religion,
constitutional courts, property rights, emergency regimes and the
drafting process of constitutions. Together they present a picture
of a region that is grappling with complex constitutional issues
and is engaged with developments in the rest of the world, while at
the same time pursuing distinctive local solutions that deserve
close attention. This unique scholarly study will prove an
important research tool for Asian scholars, constitutional lawyers
within Asia and comparative constitutional scholars around the
world. Contributors: T. Allen, J. Blount, J.A. Cheibub, S.
