PHP 650.00
Written from the perspective of critical theory, ASEAN as an International Organization: International Law and Region- Building in Southeast Asia analyzes the transformation of ASEAN into an international legal entity. The book presents a critical survey of recent legal scholarship and calls for an interdisciplinary study of ASEAN. It explores the concept of ?people? and provides a people?s reading of the ASEAN Charter. It describes ASEAN as a wayang kulit of Member States and critiques the constitutional, extra-constitutional, and practical fetters of the international organization. Finally, it demystifies the fictions of community in ASEAN discourses and interrogates ASEAN?s project of subject-formation. The book cuts across the boundaries of international law, politics, and culture. Written in lucid prose, it will be an invigorating reading for lawyers, academics, and students of law and ASEAN.
