授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | As an advanced applied subject, the object of this "Law and society in Asia" is to focus on the legal system in Asian countries, especially those in Southeast Asian counrties. In the first part, however, as most participants may not have learned the law at the undergraduate level, the course discusses the concept of law across the world and the expansion of western law in the modern age while conflicting indigenous norms that already existed. After the introductory part, this course will, particularly, discuss constitutional laws and societies of Southeast Asia. In Asian countries, constitutions reflect the national identities and people's notion on how the law should be in the country. |
