In the post-Soviet era, there are only five socialist/communist regimes left in the world. However, there is little writing that considers these regime structures and the role constitutionalism plays in maintenance and development of the state and institutions of these countries. This text examines the effects of change across these constitutions.

"This is the first in a 4 volume set that provides the definitive account of the major issues of comparative constitutional law in 19 Asian jurisdictions. Volume 1 explores the process and contents in the making of a new constitution. The book offers answers to questions on the causes, processes, substance and implantation involved in making new constitutions such as; - What are the political, social, and economic factors that drive the constitution-making? - How are constitutions made, and who makes them? - What are the substantive contents of constitution-making? - What kinds of legislation are enacted to implement constitutions? - How do courts enforce constitutions? The jurisdictions covered include: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam."--
