دانلود کتاب The Law and Politics of Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments in Asia

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.The book will be an invaluable reference for law and political science researchers, as well as for policymakers and NGOs working in related fields. Since it covers jurisdictions from East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, it will be of immense international appeal to persons in Asia and those seeking to understand Asia.
