Opis

Over the course of the last three decades China’s ideological realm has been transformed. This book provides a clear study of the current ideological debates, and discusses how the consequences of Chinese contributions to the global constitutionalism debate are significant. It is argued that China’s constitutional system, when fully theorized and embedded within the global discourse, might serve as a model for states seeking an alternative approach to the legitimate construction of state, political structures and institutions.
