Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book challenges the near-universal acceptance of a US-style, Western constitutional paradigm as the best basis for comparative constitutional studies.It does so on three main grounds: anachronism, othering and cultural specificity. Main pillars of convergent constitutional theory are rooted in the revolutionary, late-eighteenth century a lost world; constitutional arrangements that deviate from the paradigm are often branded as outliers or even as not constitutional at all; and the foundations of the paradigm in liberal democracy give no space for other forms of constitutionalism. Whatever the attractions of convergent theory as a normative ideal of good government, for the purposes of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutional systems it is far from ideal.This book discusses and questions: convergent theorys weddedness to writing as the technology of constitution-making; its image of a constitution as fundamental law; its idea that a constitution expresses the sovereignty of the people; its use of tripartite separation of powers as the basic principle of institutional design; its relative neglect of administrative law; its association of rights with judicially enforceable bills of rights; and its obsession with a vaguely specified concept of democracy.It makes suggestions for alternative, preferable methods of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutions, and governmental and constitutional systems.This new edition takes account of recent literature on various topics and significantly revises the discussion of the Chinese constitutional system.
