Critics agree that much of Southeast Asia desperately needs judicial reform and rule of law. Yet, there is remarkably little comparative scholarship on law and legal institutions in the region. In this blog, I'll follow constitutional developments in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The MK is not a calculator (Indonesia)
Yet another conveniently timed report about the Indonesian Constitutional Court. Veri Junadi, associated with the NGO Perludem, has written a book about the MK's handling of elections disputes. The title of the report is The MK is not the Supreme Calculator, partly a critique of the fact that the MK often finds itself involved in assessing vote counts in elections cases. The book is only in Indonesian and unfortunately has not been translated, but worth checking out for students of the court.
