Abstract
Yvonne Tew's Constitutional Statecraft in Asian Courts is a careful and detailed study of constitutionalism in Malaysia and Singapore. The book combines history, theory, and practice to offer a nuanced account of how judicial power has evolved in both countries and provides a framework for how it can be harnessed further in the service of constitutional democracy.
