Zusatztext "Po Jen Yap's examination of constitutional review in three Asian jurisdictions is an important expansion of our understanding! not only because it extends the discussion of forms of constitutional review to previously understudied jurisdictions but also because its examination shows how sub-constitutional review can do much of what dialogic or weak-form constitutional review does. This is an important contribution."
