Session 1: Economic Law Reforms in Asian Emerging Economies
Saturday Dec. 14th, 8:30 – 10:15
●Abstract: As of the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, many of its late member countries have conducted rigorous economic law reforms to newly introduce or strengthen competition law, consumer protection law, and SME promotion law. This session will focus on competition law in this region and attempt to examine recent developments comparatively and conduct country studies on Vietnam and Myanmar.

Session 3: Judicial Reform and Dispute Resolutions in Asian Emerging Economies
Friday Dec. 13th, 16:15 – 18:00
●Abstract: Judicial reform for efficient contract enforcement has been a target of donor assistance, but such assistance often brings in different models for reforms, resulting in confusions in the reform paths. The policy balance is also required to design the procedure law, so as to mitigate the tension between the quick resolution of disputes for commercial needs and the procedural protection for vulnerable parties. This session focuses on the features of procedure law reforms and practice of litigation and ADR in Asian emerging economies.

Session4: Constitutional and Administrative Litigations in the contexts of Constitutionalism in Asia
Saturday Dec. 14th, 13:00 – 14:45
●Abstract: While there is a trend of increasing constitutional and administrative litigations amid the trend of democratization in the post-Authoritarian Southeast Asia, a comparative analysis across the borders is not a simple task due to the difference of the fundamental structure of constitutional regime as well as the administrative system. This session invites speakers from Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam to discuss about the role of constitutional review of statutory laws and/or judicial control of administrative activities in the governance regime of each country. The session intends to articulate systemic differences as a basis of comparative law & society approach.

Session 5: Land Law Reforms in Asian Emerging Economies: Toward Balanced Development
Saturday Dec. 14th, 15:00 – 16:45
●Abstract: Land disputes are occurring throughout Asia, sharing a common structure that the governmental policy prioritizing economic development invites compulsory taking of the subsistent land uses. Law is often nothing but an instrument to legalize such taking, as illustrated in the introduction of Torrens style title registration system that eliminates existing land uses, land acquisition law with an eased definition of public purpose, and urban planning laws legalizing taking without compensations. These methods were a revival of colonial land law, which was once suspended by the post-independence sui generis land law reforms, but reinforced in the contemporary land law reforms vigorously led by developmental donors. Legal instruments that can be utilized by local residents are limited: participatory procedures are underdeveloped; property rights in the civil law sphere are defined weak. This session will take both historical and empirical approaches to the property law reforms and their outcomes in Asian emerging economies, to find possible solutions toward a balanced land regime.
