Abstract

This symposium explores the role of “fourth branch” institutions, and specifically the role of independent electoral commissions (IECs) in protecting and promoting constitutional democracy. It does so by focusing on the global South, and Asia in particular. It aims to go beyond the “usual suspects” in comparative constitutional law, and put the constitutional experiences of countries such as Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka at the centre of a decolonized constitutional project and understanding, supplementing them with an examination of more-often-studied systems such as Australia and India.

宪政民主与选举委员会:来自亚洲的反思

本次研讨会探讨了“第四分支”机构的作用，特别是独立选举委员会在保护和促进宪政民主方面的作用。它通过关注全球南方，特别是亚洲来做到这一点。它旨在超越比较宪法中的“常见嫌疑人”，将印度尼西亚、肯尼亚、缅甸、马来西亚和斯里兰卡等国的宪法经验置于非殖民化宪法项目和理解的中心，并通过对澳大利亚和印度等经常被研究的制度的审查来补充这些经验。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is the leading forum for research and discussion of the law and legal systems of Asia. It embraces work that is theoretical, empirical, socio-legal, doctrinal or comparative that relates to one or more Asian legal systems, as well as work that compares one or more Asian legal systems with non-Asian systems. The Journal seeks articles which display an intimate knowledge of Asian legal systems, and thus provide a window into the way they work in practice. The AsJCL is an initiative of the Asian Law Institute (ASLI), an association established by thirteen leading law schools in Asia and with a rapidly expanding membership base across Asia and in other regions around the world.
