Abstract

Christine Schwöbel-Patel (chapter 3) contributes to this volume’s gourndwork by problematising the mutually reinforcing relationship between Global Constitutionalism and neoliberalism in the East Asian context. The nexus is explained as based on the insistence on separating the Public and the Private in both constitutionalism and neoliberalism. The central question is whether Global Constitutionalism’s predisposition toward neoliberalism (in the sense of privileging the separation of the state from the market and with that, a separation of the political from the economic) would be strengthened and deepened by Global Constitutionalism’s extension to East Asia. Alternatively, could this new dialogue provide an opportunity for ‘decolonising’ Global Constitutionalism and its political economic bias?.
