Constitutionalism and Legal Change in Myanmar
Hart Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-5099-2977-1 (ISBN)
Much has been made of the Constitution’s rigidity, which is seen as an obstacle to reform and inconsistent with embracing the rule of law, human rights and multi-party democracy, especially with a rapidly transforming state and society. Nonetheless, the Constitution is also seen as having potential to be a very positive force for reform.
Many issues arise now for constitutionalism and constitutional change: presidency; federalism and territorial governance; the status of minorities and freedom of religion; civil liberties in what is described as a ‘discipline-flourishing democracy’; the courts, justice and the rule of law; the electoral system; and many more. This book is an attempt to gauge the extent and potential for the entrenchment of constitutionalism in Myanmar in a rapidly changing environment.
Andrew Harding is Professor of Law at the National University of Singapore. Khin Khin Oo is an Associate Professor at the Department of Law, University of Yangon, Myanmar.
