Symposium on Legal Transplantation of Foreign Public Law in Asia 3 to 4 November 2016 Faculty of Law, Thammasat University, Bangkok The modern systems of public law in Asia were established mostly through legal transplantation during or after the period of European colonization. Principles, institutions, and procedures of western public law were borrowed to achieve independence, regulate power, modernize or democratize society, or even facilitate globalization. The process of transplantation of public law has continued to take place in many Asian jurisdictions to cope with changing politics, growing economies, and technological and societal changes. Some Asian countries have, however, been struggling to find a suitable constitutional model that helps maintain a proper balance between internal motivations and external pressures. The manner in which legal transplantation of foreign public law takes place across Asia, and the success of such transplantation, are debatable. However, an exploration of the experiences each Asian country has gained from its borrowing of foreign public law may be both practically significant and academically interesting, and the results may be assessed from legal, social, or economic perspectives. Lessons from each jurisdiction may be useful to others in adopting or adapting foreign principles and approaches suitable for their legal system. Comparisons drawn from different experiences and results of legal transplantation across Asia may help fill a gap in the legal literature. Presenters:
