The Geopolitics of Intervention
This book reviews the global dilemma and tensions over whether to intervene or not to intervene in severe civil conflicts which test the validity of the new doctrine of Responsibility to Protect or R2P. It particularly assesses R2P’s relevance for Asia, which is defined broadly in this book to include West Asia or the Middle East and the region’s emergence as the most severe threat to international order in the form of the Arab Uprisings. While East Asia and South Asia have their share of situations that warrant R2P-justified interventions, it is the conflicts in West Asia that have severely tested the viability of R2P. Has this new norm been effective as a tool for international law and...
Strategic Currents: "Triggered" And "Mobilised": Evolving Identities And Implications For National Cohesion And Security
This book offers a unique exploration of the shifting nature of identities and their broader implications. As times change, people's identities and ideologies have evolved, expanding the scope of national cohesion and security. It delves into four such ideologies — Far-Right Extremism, Hindutva, the Woke Movement, and Environmental/Climate Activism — examining their rise and impact.Strategic Currents: 'Triggered' and 'Mobilised' analyses how today's youth are being influenced or mobilised toward various forms of extremism. The youth of Singapore are not immune to this trend; the easy access to global information accelerates the process of self-radicalisation. This book offers insights into how best to mitigate these risks and protect social cohesion.
The South China Sea Arbitration
This book examines the South China Sea Arbitration between the Philippines and China, widely hailed as a landmark case in the law of the sea. Stefan Talmon argues that while the Tribunal assembled international lawyers of the highest repute and unrivalled experience, the case was nevertheless decided wrongly. He examines every step of the proceedings and critically engages with both the Philippines’ submissions and the Tribunal’s rulings. He finds that the Tribunal was lacking jurisdiction to decide the case, that some of the Philippines’ claims were also inadmissible, and that the Tribunal’s awards were tainted with procedural errors.
Strategic Currents: China And Us Competition For Influence
The advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution amidst the increasingly intensified global competition between the United States and China promises to be a major inflection point in human history. The authors assembled in this volume provide a sober assessment of this techno-nationalist contest and their implications for the rest of the world.
THE PRINCIPLES OF SHARI’AH: TEXTS AND MATERIALS
Compilation Series: The Principles of Shari’ah: Texts and Materials is a solid, application-oriented text for students taking law subjects focusing on the Shari’ah matters. Many new features make this edition a richer and stronger learning resource for students. Several factors motivated the authors to write this book. After having the experience in legal field and teaching for more than 20 years, it became clear that there was a definite need for more detail materials in this area. In addition, there was need for a book which would give full recognition to an easier method and the authors felt it was time for a text which would develop the ideas and methods with this in mind. This book ...
保护的责任：全球治理视野下的国际法规范演化
本書以保護的責任原則作為研究對象，闡述它在國際法上的源起、理論基礎、法律性質、制度形態以及實踐效果。第一章研究保護的責任的發展過程。第二章探討保護責任的法理基礎。第三章研究保護的責任在國際法上的定位。第四章研究保護的責任的制度形態。第五章研究美國、中國、巴西三個不同類型的“大國”關於保護的責任的立場。第六章研究保護的責任在實踐中遭遇的挑戰。總而言之，本書認為，在當前的國際法制度環境下，保護的責任還有其重大的限度，如無法替代國家能力建設的作用、無法克服集體決策機制的內在缺陷、無法回應雙重適用標準的批評。因此，需要把保護的責任限制在其能夠發揮作用的領域，以此作為推進全球治理的國際法律手段之一，抵制以政權更迭為目的的軍事行動以及以“新殖民主義”為目的的重建計劃，尤其需要借助這個理念推動全球法治制度建設，拓展多元國際主體共同參與應對大規模人道危難的事業。
Melayu
People within the Malay world hold strong but diverse opinions about the meaning of the word Melayu, which can be loosely translated as Malayness. Questions of whether the Filipinos are properly called "e;Malay"e;, or the Mon-Khmer speaking Orang Asli in Malaysia, can generate heated debates. So too can the question of whether it is appropriate to speak of a kebangsaan Melayu (Malay as nationality) as the basis of membership within an aspiring postcolonial nation-state, a political rather than a cultural community embracing all residents of the Malay states, including the immigrant Chinese and Indian population.In Melayu: The Politics, Poetics and Paradoxes of Malayness, the contributors exa...
