Description of
The Law and Politics of Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments in Asia (Comparative Constitutional Change)
This book explains how the idea and practice of unconstitutional constitutional amendments informs politics through various social and political actors, and in both formal and informal amendment processes. This is the first book-length study of the law and politics of unconstitutional constitutional amendments in Asia. Comprising ten case studies from across the continent, and four broader, theoretical chapters, the volume provides an interdisciplinary, comparative perspective on the rising phenomenon of unconstitutional constitutional amendments (UCA) across a range of political, legal, and institutional contexts. The volume breaks new ground by venturing beyond the courts to consider UCA not only as a judicial doctrine, but also as a significant feature of political and intellectual discourse. Read more
