Asian Approaches to International Law
National University of Singapore
Asian Society of International Law
Location: Singapore
Deadline: 16 September 2011
Asia has long been an outlier both in terms of its international institutions and its embrace of international law. Asia has not chosen to construct regional institutions comparable to those in Europe, Africa, and the Americas, preferring to adopt an approach of variable geometry and pragmatic alliances. The region's commitment to what some call the "Asian way" has sometimes privileged consultation and consensus over clear and binding obligations. The 3rd NUS-AsianSIL Young Scholars Workshop 2012 seeks to explore, from the perspective of younger scholars from Asia, how international law in the region has developed and what its prospects are in the decades to come. more info ICOPHIL-9: The Philippines and the World
