South Asian countries in spite of having diverse histories and politics share a uniformity in terms of constitutionalism. This pioneering volume maps out the intellectual and historical contours of this little-studied field, yet one that is critical to South Asias future. The essays collected here examine whether the experience so far of comparative law across South Asia offers insight into broader trends in constitutionalism, and also ask how the corpus of general comparative constitutional law might benefit from greater familiarity with the South Asian experience.
