• Sommario/riassunto: "This book examines territorial governance in Asia in the context of central-local relations. In an era of attempts to deal with issues such as ; decentralisation, conflict involving ethnic and religious enclaves, and demands for regional autonomy, it is timely to examine central-local relations from a pan-Asian perspective, assessing the attempts in a range of different systems, federal and unitary, to re-order constitutional structures for territorial governance, including local government. The book looks at the constitutional systems for organising central-local relations of this kind, and attempts to draw conclusions from contemporary experiences."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
