Since the adoption of the 1947 Constitution of Japan, the document
has become a contested symbol of contrasting visions of Japan.
Japanese Constitutional Revisionism and Civic Activism is a volume
which examines the history of Japan's constitutional debates, key

activism, and activists' ties to party politics and to fellow
activists overseas.
A cluster of Asian states are well-known for their authoritarian
legality while having been able to achieve remarkable economic
growth. Why would an authoritarian regime seek or tolerate a
significant degree of legality and how has such type of legality
been made possible in Asia? Would a transition towards a liberal,
democratic system eventually take place and, if so, what kind of
post-transition struggles are likely to be experienced? This book
compares the past and current experiences of China, Hong Kong,
South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Vietnam and offers a
comparative framework for readers to conduct a theoretical dialogue
with the orthodox conception of liberal democracy and the rule of
law.
Policing is legitimized in different ways in authoritarian and
democratic states. In East and Southeast Asia, different regime
types to a greater or lesser extent determine the power of the
police and their complex relationship with the rule of law. This
volume examines the evolution of the police as a key political
institution from a historical perspective and offers comparative
insights into the potential of democratic policing and conversely
the resilience of authoritarian policing in Asia. The case studies
focus on eight jurisdictions: Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong,
Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The theoretical
chapters analyse and explain the links between policing and
society, the politics of policing and recent police reforms. This
volume fills a gap in the literature by exploring the nature of
authoritarian policing and how it has transformed and developed the
rule of law throughout East and Southeast Asia.

Is there a distinctive Chinese model for law and economic
development? In The Beijing Consensus scholars turn their
collective attention to answer this basic but seemingly
under-explored question as China rises higher in its global
standing. Advancing debates on alternative development programs,
with a particular focus on social and political contexts, this book
demonstrates that essentially, no model exists. Engaging in
comparative studies, the contributors create a new set of
benchmarks to evaluate the conventional wisdom that the Beijing
Consensus challenges and that of the Beijing Consensus itself. Has
China demonstrated that the best model is in fact no model at all?
Overall, this title equips the reader with an understanding of the
conclusions derived from China's experience in its legal and
economic development in recent decades.
