It is the fruition of untold sacrifices made by dedicated citizens who tirelessly fought to rein in the power of the government under some form of constitutional rule. In that sense, it should be understood against the backdrop of South Korea's experimentation with constitutionalism that began at the turn of the last century. Yet, it also represents a radical break, the beginning of a new era which ended a long political history of 'constitution without constitutionalism'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time in the history of the South Korean nation, the constitution has become a living norm rather than an ornament, or a fa?ade, for illegitimate or ineffectual governments. It has proven to be a binding law that matters not only for government leaders but also for private individuals. With the adoption, especially, of a system allowing the adjudication of constitutional issues at an independent court, the people have begun to realise that the constitution can be invoked to protect their rights and advance their interests. As a result, the South Korean Constitutional Court is being stretched to its limits with a great number of cases filed at its docket. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is an insightful new addition to Hart's successful series, \u003ci\u003eConstitutional Systems of the World.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChaihark Hahm\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at the Yonsei University School of Law, South Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48046511718659,"sku":"9781509976348","price":86.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/OYbrvA79TW9781509976348.webp?v=1777661461","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-nl\/products\/the-constitution-of-south-korea-a-contextual-analysis-paperback","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
