Introduzione: Il diritto dell'estremo Oriente e le istituzioni giuspubblicistiche della Repubblica popolare cinese

The volume, which is part of the Treaty of Comparative Public Law directed by prof. Giuseppe Franco Ferrari, intends to offer the result of a reflection on the characteristics of the constitutional laws of East Asia. In the course of the work, as well as the deepening of the foreign rights considered, investigations were also carried out for both internal comparison, ie between the Eastern legal systems, and with respect to the public legal systems belonging to other legal traditions, mainly to Western legal tradition. The sectors of the jurisdictions that have been examined concern the constitutional system, with a separate analysis of the legislative, executive and judicial bodies including constitutional justice (in the national experiences that contemplate it), the forms of political-administrative decentralization as well as the catalog of fundamental rights. In accordance with the broadly prevalent trends in international literature on comparative legal methodology (as far as we concern, in the area of constitutional law), both diachronic and synchronic profiles of the national rights considered have been examined.
