Buddhism and Comparative Constitutional Law (book now published)
Lyonette Louis-Jacques
Bonjour la liste! I posted about the workshop back in 2021. Now the papers have been published as an Open Access book via Cambridge! FYI, Lyo.
Buddhism and Comparative Constitutional Law (Tom Ginsburg & Benjamin Schonthal, eds., Cambridge University Press, 2022)
“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.”
