Buddhism, Politics and the Limits of Law: The Pyrrhic Constitutionalism of Sri Lanka - Comparative Constitutional Law and Policy
Schonthal, Benjamin (University of Otago, New Zealand)
It is widely assumed that a well-designed and well-implemented constitution can help ensure religious harmony in modern states. Drawing on groundbreaking research from Sri Lanka, with a focus on Buddhism, this book argues that constitutional law can be more harmful than helpful when it comes to addressing conflicts over religion.
