Publications
The Journal’s scope is twofold, covering strictly legal topics as well as developments at the intersection between political science, governance studies and law. What unites all articles, comments, essays, case-notes, reviews and research material, however, is the common aim to explore the foundations and boundaries of norm-based orders, the challenges – big and small – in the implementation of the rule of law and the constant tension between law and power.
The Journal’s mission is to provide a forum for debates in constitutional and administrative law, criminal and procedural law, anti-corruption and compliance, human rights, geopolitics and international law as well as regional integration. It combines perspectives from Europe and Asia, including transnational and comparative perspectives. Contributors to the Journal are scholars and practitioners from diverse fields and backgrounds, enhancing the Journal’s interdisciplinary scope.
The European-Asian Journal of Law & Governance is the product of a common effort involving the editors in charge of developing the Journal’s content, anonymous peer-reviewers from many universities in various European and Asian countries, the editorial board and the editorial staff in Bangkok.
We hope you enjoy reading our Journal, we would be thankful for your feedback and we invite you to let us know if you have suggestions for topics to be covered or improvements.
