Highlights
Judicial dysfunction in Indonesia / Simon Butt. Carlton, Victoria: Melbourne University Press, 2023.
Call no: KNW1580 B98
“Indonesia’s judicial system has long been described as dysfunctional. Many of its problems developed out of decades of authoritarian rule, which began in the last few years of the reign of Indonesia’s first president, Soekarno. By the time President Soeharto’s regime fell in 1998, the judiciary had virtually collapsed. Judicial dependence on government, inefficiency and corruption were commonly seen as the main indicators of poor performance, resulting in very low levels of public trust in the courts. To address these problems, reformists focused on improving judicial independence.” — Publisher.
The ripple effect: China’s complex presence in Southeast Asia / Enze Han. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2024.
Call no: JZ1734 A9H23
“In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China’s influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China, such as private businesses and Chinese migrants. These actors affect people’s perception of China in a variety of ways, and they often have wide-ranging as well as long-lasting effects on bilateral relations.” — Publisher.
