ABSTRACT

My principal aim in this chapter is to help achieve the objective of the volume by offering some general observations about Chinese constitutionalism. 1 I note that the objective of the volume is to verify whether the areas of self-government (enumerated in the ‘Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People’) correspond to internationally and domestically consolidated good practices, as well as to the Chinese constitutional and legal system. Particular attention will be paid to the circulation and foreign influence of legal models and best practices in the examined systems.
