These include the COVID-19 pandemic as well as those that impact the ability of Asian countries to govern effectively, notably the spread of misinformation and a growing societal distrust in democracy and expertise.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo this end, the book comprises two types of chapters. National case studies from across the region dissect the constitutional, political and institutional arrangements in a wide range of Asian countries that have paved the way for policies that have led to, exacerbated or addressed the crises faced. These case studies are preceded by conceptual chapters that explore the nature of the various kinds of crises and their potential to influence governance and democratic practices in Asia. Taken together, the contributions invite careful reflection on the future direction, scope and shape of democracy in a region that is characterised by rapid economic and social change as well as enduring regime pluralism, being home to liberal democracies, military-dominated governments, autocracies and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by scholars with a deep understanding of the dynamics of Asian legal orders, this book contributes to the growing body of works devoted to constitutional experiences in the Global South and offers critical insights into the operation and thinking of governments in the face of a multitude of modern-day challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaartje De Visser\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at the Singapore Management University, Singapore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePo Jen Yap\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at The University of Hong Kong, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 April 2027\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\u003e9781509988402\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\u003e432\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669916287116,"sku":"9781509988402","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_7dc9229e-1e61-447f-b8f4-f9f4d22fe248.jpg?v=1785204471","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781509988402","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
