'By taking us on an eye-opening tour of constitutional remedies in
Asia, this fascinating collection of essays broadens the landscape
of comparative constitutional analysis. Not only does it open up
new territory, it also deepens our understanding of remedies by
highlighting the multiple ways in which judges seek to engage
political actors in the joint endeavour of making rights real.' -

engagement with on-the-ground experiences, it makes a valuable
contribution and will broaden the scholarly conversations.' -
