N2 - This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines the role played by courts, including by way of public interest litigation (PIL) discourse, in relation to India, mainland China and Hong Kong. In comparison to scholars from other disciplines such as economics, history and sociology, it seems that legal scholars especially belonging to the public law genre generally consider India and China to be too different to be comparable in view of their distinct politico-legal systems. Both India and China face similar types of challenges in realising socio-economic rights: vast population, maintaining national unity among diversity, economic disparities, controlling the private sector's profit-maximisation propensity, pervasive corruption, and environmental pollution. The book explores the realisation of a selected socio-economic right in India, in China or in both India and China in a comparative manner.
