This book examines the process of constitutional formation in the era of decolonisation and state building in Asia. Contributions to this book shed light upon the influence and participation of Sir Ivor Jennings in particular and British ideas in general on democracy and institutions across the Asian continent. Critical cases studies on India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Nepal - all linked by Britain and Jennings - assess the distinctive methods and outcomes of constitution making and how British ideas fared in these states.
