And yet, this region has remained largely ignored by constitutional studies and democracy scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book addresses this gap and presents a contribution to the South Asia-centric literature on the topic of the stability and resilience of constitutional democracies. Chapters deal not only with relatively well known South Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, but also with countries often ignored by scholars, such as Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Afghanistan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributions consider the design and functioning of an array of institutions and actors, including political parties, legislatures, the political executive, the bureaucracy, courts, fourth branch \/ guarantor institutions (such as electoral commissions), the people, and the military to examine their roles in strengthening or undermining constitutional democracy across South Asia. Each chapter offers a contextual and jurisdictionally-tethered account of the causes behind the erosion of constitutional democracy, and some examine the resilience of constitutional institutions against democratic erosion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Swati Jhaveri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509948856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509948857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Swati Jhaveri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071566672127,"sku":"9781509948857","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91256275-2615-43b3-bcd2-5dd88fde9773.jpg?v=1685436871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constitutional-resilience-in-south-asia-tarunabh-khaitan-9781509948857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
