Beskrivning
Buddhism and Comparative Constitutional Law offers the first comprehensive account of the entanglements of Buddhism and constitutional law in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Tibet, Bhutan, China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of experts, the volume offers a complex portrait of "the Buddhist-constitutional complex," demonstrating the intricate and powerful ways in which Buddhist and constitutional ideas merged, interacted and co-evolved. The authors also highlight the important ways in which Buddhist actors have (re)conceived Western liberal ideals such as constitutionalism, rule of law, and secularism. Available Open Access on Cambridge Core, this trans-disciplinary volume is written to be accessible to a non-specialist audience.

Recensioner i media

'This comprehensive collection brings together a stimulating selection of case studies from experts on Buddhism, law, and constitutions. Its multi-disciplinary perspective raises much needed comparative questions about the relations between Buddhist ideas and constitutional principles. Ultimately, the editors ask what Buddhism is and what forms the Buddhist–constitutional complex, which they put at the heart of this excellent volume.' Fernanda Pirie, University of Oxford
