It provides an exploratory description of the process and substantive inputs, analyzes internal and external forces, and constructs theoretical models to conceptualize the nature and role of the first constitutions in state-building.

This new book in the Constitutionalism in Asia series delves into the concept of origins, change, and continuity in terms of 'constitution-making,' an ongoing process in the Northeast Asian states. It examines the drafting, nature, core values, and roles of the first modern constitutions during the founding of the 8 modern states/territories in Northeast Asia: China (1949), Taiwan (1947), Hong Kong SAR (1997), Macau SAR (1999), Japan (1889), North Korea (1948 and 1972), South Korea (1948), and Mongolia (1924). The collection offers an exploratory description of the process and substantive inputs in the making of these nations/territories' first constitutions, an analysis of the internal and external (including intra-regional) forces surrounding their creation, and a theoretical construction of models to conceptualize the nature and role of the first constitutions (including constituent documents) in the founding of the modern nation-states/territories and their subsequent impact on state-building in the region.
