Where do constitutional rights come from? How do constitutional rights reflect global human rights norms? And how do constitutional rights reflect local values and conditions? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second set of questions focuses on the formal legal architecture of rights. How fundamental rights are provided for in Asian constitutions and what are the legal features of these rights?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third set of questions pertains to the functions of constitutional rights in Asian constitutions. What roles these rights play in society and how are they used to address socioeconomic issues such as inequality?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, the volume asks questions about legal doctrine. How are constitutional rights interpreted? Who interprets them? And what are the doctrines (e.g. proportionality) used to interpret constitutional rights? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNineteen Asian jurisdictions are covered in this volume; these range from those in East Asia (Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Mongolia, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong), Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Laos), and South Asia (India, Pakistan, the Maldives, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRehan Abeyratne\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at Western Sydney University, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNgoc Son Bui \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Asian Laws at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMara Malagodi \u003c\/b\u003eis Reader in Law at the School of Law, University of Warwick, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509949816\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e576\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944678817932,"sku":"9781509949816","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_cb3d527c-2f95-4048-858f-0b3f7b3528d9.jpg?v=1786036089","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781509949816","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
