This is the third in a four-volume set that provides the definitive account of the major issues of comparative constitutional law in Asia.

Volume 3 looks at the both the formal and functional aspects of constitutional structure in 18 Asian jurisdictions. It considers formal aspects such as:

- legislative-executive relations;
- the court system;
- constitutional review (including specialist, ordinary judicial review, and non-judicial institutions of constitutional review);
- central-local relations and federalism;
- the role of the political parties;
- the role of the military; and
- independent institutions, such as audit, election, and anti-corruption institutions.

It also answers questions about functional aspects of constitutional structure including:

- How do these structural institutions work in practice?
- What are the factors, such as political dynamics, local culture, ethnic diversity, and social structure, influence their operation?

The jurisdictions covered are: Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand.
