This book begins with a discussion of constitutional government in western societies - the United States, France, Germany, and Great Britain - the challenges it faces, its philosophy, and its practice. It then draws comparisons to major non-western societies such as Japan and India and to the major powers of the communist world - the Soviet Union and China. McWhinney discusses in detail the essential aspects of constitution-making - when, why, and by whom it is done, as well as the art of drafting a constitution.
