Synopsis

This book explores the origins, successes, and threats to revolutionary constitutionalism around the world. Contributing authors evaluate typologies of revolutionary, elitist and establishmentarian constitutional orders to answer the question: what does it mean for a constitution to be borne out of a revolution?

Drawing on case studies from nine jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region, the contributors expand the field of comparative constitutional law by moving beyond American and European-centered narratives. In particular, they critically engage with Bruce Ackerman’s Revolutionary Constitutions, interrogating his methodology and conclusions from an Asia-Pacific perspective. By bringing these histories and practices to the fore, the book broadens the scope of comparative constitutional scholarship, demonstrating how revolutionary and non-revolutionary dynamics coexist in shaping constitutional orders. The book concludes with a direct response from Ackerman which engages with the reflections presented, fostering an open and ongoing dialogue in the field.

Pathways to Constitutional Legitimacy in Asia Pacific is a valuable resource for scholars and students of comparative constitutional law and theory.
