'Po Jen Yap's new book is a must-read in the growing literature on the role of constitutional courts in democratic stabilization. Its fine-grained analyses demonstrates that the political power and vulnerability of courts in protecting democratic processes as well as their own independence is not fixed or prescribable in the abstract, but varies with the state of democratization and party contestation in which they operate.' Stephen Gardbaum, MacArthur Foundation Professor of International Justice and Human Rights, University of California, Los Angeles 'A fascinating tour through the fraught relations between courts and political power. Professor Yap provides a nuanced account of how constitutional courts in Asia balance precariously between semi-authoritarian dominant regimes and the live wire of electoral politics. A magnificent, sophisticated contribution that enriches our understanding of judicial politics in an era of weak democratic institutions.' Samuel Issacharoff, Reiss Professor of Constitutional Law, New York University 'Po Jen Yap's analysis of the role of Asian courts in three types of democracies illuminates how the possibilities for effective judicial action in connection with major political issues varies according to the type of democracy in which the courts are located. It is an important contribution to the project of integrating comparative constitutional law with comparative political studies.' Mark Tushnet, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Harvard University, Massachusetts 'Professor Yap's elegant, concise book is an important contribution to comparative constitutional studies ... Yap's book is a major advance in integrating Asian constitutionalism into comparative constitutionalism more generally and into the comparative law of democracy in particular.' Richard H.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
