In her examination of ASEAN, Renshaw asks how human rights can be implemented in and between states that are politically diverse-Vietnam and Laos are Communist; Brunei Darussalam is an Islamic sultanate; Myanmar is in transition from a military dictatorship; the Philippines and Indonesia are established multiparty democracies; while the remaining members are less easily defined. Renshaw cautions that ASEAN is limited in its ability to shape the practices of its members because it lacks a preponderance of democratic states. However, she concludes that, in the absence of a global legalized human rights order, the most significant practical advancements in the promotion of human rights have emerged from regional institutions such as the ASEAN.
Reviews / Votes
"[A] well-structured book that provides a comprehensive account of the emergence of a regional human rights infrastructure in ASEAN...As a legal scholar with expertise in Southeast Asia's legal systems, Renshaw presents a highly readable text which blends analysis of international rights documents and domestic case law, with theories drawn from politics, social science and international relations...An impressive piece of scholarship and an important book for those seeking to understand contemporary ASEAN and its politics at a macro level." (Australian Journal of Asian Law) "Human Rights and Participatory Politics in Southeast Asia is a significant and much-needed contribution to the theoretical and comparative literature on regional human rights mechanisms. Catherine Renshaw argues convincingly that regional human rights work and national debates inform and influence each other." (Mark Sidel, University of Wisconsin-Madison) "An excellent and well-researched examination of the complex developments surrounding the rise of human rights in Southeast Asia. Catherine Renshaw offers a masterful analysis of the roles played by regional institutions in promoting and protecting human rights."
