Examines and compares East Asian and European perspectives of Global constitutionalism

Recenzje

“This book is a timely contribution to the important study of Global Constitutionalism. Its comparisons between two equally aged but very different traditions - European and East Asian - is as insightful it is challenging, since East Asia alone is such an amorphous entity, with China, Japan and Korea standing out as qualitatively different polities. By bringing together scholars from diverse countries, the book provides a rare platform for meaningful dialogues between radically different institutional and cultural traditions.'
