Background

Legal pluralism, the coexistence of multiple legal systems within a single society or jurisdiction, is a defining characteristic of many Asian countries. Rooted in diverse cultural, historical, and religious traditions, this complex legal landscape presents a myriad of contemporary legal issues. From the interplay between religious laws and secular statutes to the tensions arising from colonial legacies and indigenous customary practices, Asia grapples with a range of challenges at the intersection of tradition and modernity.

The 4^th Airlangga Summer School focuses on Legal Pluralism and Contemporary Legal Issues in Asia.  This summer school provides a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of legal pluralism in Asia and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of its impact on governance, human rights, and legal reform in the region. Through the thematic approach, the course introduces students to the themes of:

1. Legal Pluralism in SEA
2. Legal Transplant and Legitimacy in Contemporary Asia
3. Human Rights Law in SEA
4. Transnational Organized Crime in SEA
5. Private Law, Competition Law and Justice

This course will also explore 4 main features of civil law culture in SEA, common law culture in SEA, as well as Islamic legal culture in SEA

This course discusses different theories of legal transplants in comparative law and also analyses some particular cases that have eventually ‘worked’ efficiently both in the country of origin and in the country where those laws were adopted.  This course also discusses the recognition of living law as a source of law superior to positive law based on legal transplants.

3. Private Law, Competition Law and Justice

This course provides the students with an overview of the regulation that governs business practices in order to avoid restrictions of competition.

Background

There is no single uniform context in the Asian region. Its cultural, religious, historical, and political systems are too diverse, as are the foreign and domestic influences on legal systems in the region. Nevertheless, it is possible to single out individual legal systems and groups of systems in Asia which are clearly distinguishable in their respective contexts, but cumulatively open up the legal world that is Asia and can thus serve as a blueprint for understanding all Asian legal systems.

The program is for undergraduate students from various countries who wish to learn Indonesian Law and deepen their understanding of the laws of various Asian countries, particularly in the Southeast Asian region. The course offered in this program will provide an opportunity to reveal the unique experiences of legal development in the Asia region. The program uniquely prepares the students for facing the complexities of global society and is adept at navigating the legal and cultural norms of Asia.

The 3rd Airlangga Summer School focuses on Legal Transnationalism and Contemporary Legal Issues in Asia.  During this Summer School, we will convey knowledge for a more profound understanding of Asia in various legal fields. Through the thematic approach, the course introduces students to the themes of:

1. Diversity of Legal Culture in SEA
2. Transnational Legal Transplant and Legitimacy
3. New Wave of Privacy and Data Protection Laws in Asia
4. Harmonization of Commercial Transaction Law in The ASEAN Region: Possibilities and Challenges
5. Transnational (Organized) Crime in SEA
6. Human Rights Law in SEA

Course Description:

1. Diversity of Legal Culture in SEA

Each ASEAN country has its own characteristics of history, tradition, geography, population composition, and economic, political, and religious development levels which are the foundation for creating a diversity of social and legal systems in this region. This course explores 4 main features of civil law culture in SEA, common law culture in SEA, socialist legal culture in SEA as well as Islamic legal culture in SEA

2. Legal Transplant in Contemporary Asia

This course provides an in-depth understanding of Indonesia Law Data Protection developments in other countries (in ASIA) – learn case studies, comparisons, and enforcement cases. Gain insights into common themes among jurisdictions and principle frameworks. Learn legal requirements and mechanisms for handling and transferring data from Indonesia to different jurisdictions

4. Harmonization of Commercial Transaction Law in The ASEAN Region

The Southeast Asian region is viewed as a united block that is ASEAN. The ASEAN roots in a diverse economic system, cultural, ethnic, technical, and educational system. In modern-day globalization, economic globalization continues to develop as well. This economic globalization pushes the importance of having an integrated commercial transaction law of the ASEAN member states. The idea of integration that stems from rapidly growing economic globalization results in an unavoidable demand for harmonization of commercial transaction law within the ASEAN region. As a united region that is the ASEAN, having different regulations to govern matters of cross-border commercial transactions inter-ASEAN would hinder the effectiveness of each country’s law itself. Yet, the importance of having a harmonized commercial transaction law within the ASEAN region is still questioned. This course explores the importance of having a harmonized commercial law among the ASEAN member states, the possibility and challenges of developing such a harmonization.

5. Law and Human Rights in Asia

The aim of the course is to enable students to critically analyze the major problems of human rights in the region, and current initiatives to deal with human rights. The course offers a more specific review of numerous specific issues, such as freedom of expression (FOE), impunity, the protection of indigenous people’s rights, and the role of judicial systems in implementing human rights standards.

     6. Transnational (Organized) Crime in SEA
This course provides an in-depth examination of transnational crime in the context of Southeast Asia. With its diverse and dynamic regional landscape, Southeast Asia has emerged as a hotspot for various transnational criminal activities, posing significant challenges to security, governance, and regional stability. This course aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the nature, causes, and implications of transnational crime in the region, as well as the strategies and responses employed to address these complex issues.

Every year the Tenggerese people held a big ceremony for their ancestors and God calls “Yasada Ceremony” which is held in every Yasada’s month based on their culture. This ceremony held to pray for safety and grace from their God by throwing the livestock or money to the Mount Bromo crater. The ceremony itself takes Mount Bromo as the main spot and can be last for three days in a row. Mostly Tenggerese people depend their life on agriculture and tourism since Mount Bromo is one of iconic place for travelers in Indonesia.

About

The massive flow of migrants and refugees, ongoing economic hardship, the surge in terrorism and violent extremism on our countries, are placing pressure on our communities. In many places populism and xenophobia are on the rise and our commitment to tolerance and diversity is feeling the strain.

One particularly difficult challenge is guaranteeing freedom of expression and the right to express ideas which “offend, shock or disturb” while preventing incitement to hate or violence that is aimed at individuals or groups on the basis of their traditions or beliefs. We see many States grappling with this dilemma. It is a troubling development, and one we cannot ignore.

Diversity is an asset to our countries – economically, socially and politically – and we must defend it. However, managing cultural diversity in full respect of the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law is a common challenge for all societies across the regions.

Through multiculturalism, the consequences of cultural diversity are managed in the interests of the individual and society as a whole. It includes cultural identity, social justice, and economic efficiency. The subject of multiculturalism itself has gained a great deal of attention in the global scenario in the past few years. Along with the phenomenon of globalization, it has assumed a role of highlighted relevance in a world without borders.

The 2nd Airlangga On/Offline Summer School focuses on multicultural dimensions across the nations. Through the thematic approach, the course introduces students to the themes of legal pluralism, religion and culture, minority rights, the criminal law and multiculturalism.

About

Asia is a region rich with diverse populations, where history, politics, religion and the legal landscape provide unique experiences and practices. In terms of religion, the state’s approach towards socially engineering religion, particularly Islam oscillates among appropriation, accommodation, control and subjugation of Islam in different political and legal frameworks. Thus, the striking feature of Asian legal systems, besides legal pluralism, is legal instrumentalism, the use of law as a tool for social engineering, specifically, but not exclusively, in the economic sphere.

Our goal is to train students to become world-class lawyers, able to transition from one legal system to another, bridging the gap between civil law and common law systems. The program is for undergraduate students from various countries who wish to learn Indonesian Law and to deepen their understanding of the laws of various Asian countries, particularly in Southeast Asian and South Asian region. The course offered in this program will provide an opportunity to reveal the unique experiences of legal development in Asia region. The program is uniquely prepared the students for facing the complexities of global society and adept at navigating legal and cultural norms of the Asia.
