In recent years the constitutional landscape of Southeast Asia has
changed tremendously. Against a worldwide background of
liberalization, globalization, and democratization, states in the
region have begun to alter their constitutions, reinforcing human
rights provisions, and putting in place institutional safeguards,
such as constitutional courts and human rights commissions. On
closer examination, however, the picture is very complex, with
constitutional developments differing greatly between states. This
book explores a range of current constitutional developments in the
different states of Southeast Asia through a distinct political
lens. Drawing on comparative and single case studies, it considers
various constitutional areas, including constitution drafting,
human rights, legal safeguards and the continuing role of the
military, sets constitutional developments in the wider political
and historical context of each country, and makes comparisons both
with Western democracies and with other developing regions. The
book concludes by assessing overall how far constitutional
practices and trajectories are converging towards a liberal Western
model or towards a distinctly Southeast Asian model.
