Abstract
This thesis addresses issues surrounding Chinese constitutional arrangement to
Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It contends that in light of the Chinese State’s
constitutional accommodation of, and integration with, the peripheral societies of
Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, a re-conceptualisation of Chinese constitutional law
in on the verge of maturity, which, informed by realistic ideals, would be conductive
to establishing a constitutional order of peace and stability that is embodied in a
legal structure in which multiple societies, as self-governing people-s, could sustain
healthy constitutional relationship and abstain from violent conflicts.
