The Asian Scholar
We tell the stories of Asian international law academics, researchers, students and practitioners–how they engage with and shape international law in their own simple ways in the midst of a rapidly shifting global environment.
It is a platform in which we discuss the challenges that we face as Asian international law teachers, and some innovative ways on how we address those challenges, our current research projects and scholarly works that promote the Asian voice, and how we reacquaint ourselves with our own legal history and culture.
