Legal transplantation and reform in the name of globalisation is central to the transformation of Asian legal systems. The contributions to "Examining Practice, Interrogating Theory: Comparative Legal Studies in Asia" analyse particular legal changes in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The contributions also concurrently critically analyse the utility of scholarly developments in comparative legal studies, particularly discourse analysis; regulatory theory; legal pluralism; and socio-legal approaches, in the study of Asian legal systems. While these approaches are regularly invoked in the study of transforming European legal systems, the debate of their relevance and explanatory capacity beyond the European context is recent. By bringing together these diverse analytical tools and enabling a comparison of their insights through Asian empirical case studies, this book makes an invaluable contribution to the debates concerning legal change and the methods by which it is analysed globally, and within Asia.

The study of the relationship between ijtihamp;ād and Taqlamp;īd has been dominated by an approach that privileges ijtihamp;ād over Taqlamp;īd on the assumption that the former is an intellectually superior mode of legal reasoning. By analyzing the role of Taqlamp;īd in regulating the actions of muftamp;īs and judges as discussed by post-6th/12th century jurists of the Mamp;ālikamp;ī school, I conclude that Taqlamp;īd resulted from the desire to have uniform rules rather than as a result of intellectual stagnation. While ijtihamp;ād was individualistic and solipsistic, Taqlamp;īd was the result of group interpretation that provided an objective basis upon which legal decisions and legal rulings could be described as being either substantively correct or incorrect. Viewed in this light, Taqlamp;īd was originally a desire to limit the discretionary power of legal officials, especially those at the bottom of the legal hierarchy. The desire to possess uniform rules found its logical outcome in the legal genre of the mukhtaamp;ṣar as it emerged in the 7th/13th century. The mukhtaamp;ṣar functioned as the authoritative collection of a legal school's doctrine, and, for that reason, I argue that Islamic law in the age of mukhtaamp;ṣars is best understood as a codified Common Law.

The author challenges the role of scientists and expertise in policy-making, as well as the idea of deliberative democracy. The integrity of science, politics and journalism is dissolving, the author argues. Market conditions are in play and, as a result, we have a market democracy. The book presents evidence of this concept in areas such as biotechnology, nanotechnologies, radioactive waste management, and global warming. Furthermore, branches of journalism are explored and found not to meet reasonable demands for transparency. The idea of public participation in decision-making, having been launched as a way to restore trust, has become just another area in the market where different processes of participation are being launched and promoted. As an alternative, the author proposes an awareness principle as an integral part of the representative political system.--adapted from jacket.

Buku Sejarah Nasional Indonesia (SNI) Edisi Pemutakhiran ini terbit dalam cetakan ketujuh. Sejak awal penerbitan SNI pada tahun 1975, buku SNI ini belum pernah dimutakhirkan sesuai dengan temuan-temuan baru dan perkembangan teori sejarah yang baru. Sudah hampir tiga puluh tiga tahun, banyak naskah perbaikan masih tersimpan di laci para penulis sejarah Indonesia. Keunikan pertama dari SNI adalah bahwa buku merupakan hasil karya bangsa Indonesia sendiri, ilmuwan/-wati Indonesia yang sebagian besar masih hidup. Keunikan kedua dari buku SNI ini adalah dia ditulis dengan latar belakang Indonesia atau bersifat indonesiasentris. Untuk mengetahui latar belakang penulisan buku SNI sebanyak enam jilid ini perlu membaca Prakata Editor Umum pada edisi pertama yang ditulis oleh Prof. Dr. Sartono Kartodirdjo. Buku SNI telah mendapat julukan dari masyarakat Indonesia sebagai “buku standar” sejarah Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, isi buku SNI sering dipakai sebagai sumber rujukan penulisan dan pembicaraan tentang sejarah Indonesia, baik secara langsung dikatakan maupun secara tersirat. Balai Pustaka sebagai pemegang hak penerbitan buku SNI telah berusaha keras untuk menghidupkan kembali semangat nasional para pencetus dan penulis awal buku SNI. Dengan menghimpun semua mereka yang terlibat langsung dan tidak langsung dalam penulisan buku SNI, Balai Pustaka berhasil memutakhirkan isi buku SNI walaupun memang terlambat. Kepada para penulis buku SNI, baik yang masih hidup dan terus terlibat dalam pemutakhiran buku SNI ini dan kepada yang telah meninggal, Balai Pustaka mengucapkan terima kasih dan penghormatan besar atas karya dan jasa mereka. Dengan ini, SNI Edisi Pemutakhiran ini hadir di hadapan sidang pembaca. Semoga SNI Edisi Pemutakhiran ini menyadarkan bangsa Indonesia akan sejarah bangsanya dan buku ini berguna bagi bangsa Indonesia. Terima kasih.
