South Asia has had a tumultuous and varied experience with
constitutional democracy that predates the recent rise in populism
(and its study) in established democracies. And yet, this region
has remained largely ignored by constitutional studies and
democracy scholars. This book addresses this gap and presents a
contribution to the South Asia-centric literature on the topic of
the stability and resilience of constitutional democracies.
Chapters deal not only with relatively well known South Asian
countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, but
also with countries often ignored by scholars, such as Bhutan,
Nepal, Maldives, and Afghanistan. The contributions consider the
design and functioning of an array of institutions and actors,
including political parties, legislatures, the political executive,
the bureaucracy, courts, fourth branch / guarantor institutions
(such as electoral commissions), the people, and the military to
examine their roles in strengthening or undermining constitutional
democracy across South Asia. Each chapter offers a contextual and
jurisdictionally-tethered account of the causes behind the erosion
of constitutional democracy, and some examine the resilience of
constitutional institutions against democratic erosion.
