摘要

这篇评论文章简要地讨论了格兰维尔·奥斯汀对印度宪法及其批评者的具有里程碑意义的研究，回顾了最近三本关于印度宪法的书，并评估了这些新作品在多大程度上能够将宪法研究带入新的方向。这三本书都揭示了宪法和法院在印度民主中的关键作用。虽然作者很清楚宪政面临的当代挑战，并在其他地方写过这些挑战，但这在他们的书中并没有完全体现出来。尽管有这些缺点，但这些最近的研究对于理解宪法及其在印度民主中的作用是不可或缺的。

Life of a Nation's Text: The Travels and Travails of the Indian Constitution

This review essay briefly discusses Granville Austin's landmark study of the working of the Indian Constitution and its critics, reviews three recent books on that Constitution, and evaluates the extent to which these new works have been able to take constitutional studies in new directions. All three books shine a light on the critical role of the Constitution and the courts in Indian democracy. While the authors are well aware of contemporary challenges to constitutionalism and have written on them elsewhere, this does not fully come through in their books. Despite this shortcoming, these recent studies are indispensable in making sense of the Constitution and its role in Indian democracy.

期刊介绍： Pacific Affairs has, over the years, celebrated and fostered a community of scholars and people active in the life of Asia and the Pacific. It has published scholarly articles of contemporary significance on Asia and the Pacific since 1928. Its initial incarnation from 1926 to 1928 was as a newsletter for the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR), but since May 1928, it has been published continuously as a quarterly under the same name. The IPR was a collaborative organization established in 1925 by leaders from several YMCA branches in the Asia Pacific, to “study the conditions of the Pacific people with a view to the improvement of their mutual relations.”
