description: This dissertation reconstructs the formation of constitutional thought in China, ranging from the first appearance of the concept in a Chinese-language text in 1838 up to the concrete drafts for a constitution for the Qing Empire produced in the years 1908–1911. Going beyond existing literature, which treats early Chinese constitutional thought as a national or at best regional phenomenon, this study recounts it from a broader perspective and places it in its global context, examining the Chinese refraction of the process by which constitutions became universal elements of contemporary states.
