The Routledge Handbook of Human Rights in Southeast Asia analyses some of the region’s most pressing human rights issues, while also giving attention to those actors and institutions that work towards improvement.Chapters by international experts in the field provide readers with a background on some of Southeast Asia’s most pressing human rights concerns. The book builds on, and contributes to, existing analyses of human rights in Southeast Asia to further enhance our understanding of what sits behind the region’s ambivalent human rights track record. Following an introduction, the handbook is structured in eight parts. The chapters cover a wide range of human rights issues including human rights debates at political and regional levels, and how human rights are experienced every day, such as the rights to food, water, and work:Advancing Human Rights through ASEANRefugees: Protecting Rights and Strengthening AgencyTransitional Justice in Southeast Asia: Confronting the PastBalancing Moral Perspectives: Ideologies and Human RightsIntersections between Workers’ Rights, Corporations and the StateAccessing and Maintaining Rights to Water, Food, and HealthOn the Frontline: Human Rights DefendersPromoting Human Rights in Southeast Asia: New Directions and StrategiesThe handbook considers the political and social contexts in which human rights emerge, the dynamics of their contestation and violation, and how rights are claimed. It demonstrates that human rights are a practice and goes beyond considering human rights as formal structures in laws, regulations, and meeting rooms. A timely overview and analysis of the situation of Human Rights in Southeast Asia, this handbook will be a valuable reference work for scholars and practitioners in human rights, the field of Asian Law, Asian Studies in general and Southeast Asian Studies in particular.Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www .taylorfrancis .com under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

In Politics in Contemporary Indonesia, Ken M.P. Setiawan and Dirk Tomsa analyse the most prominent political ideas, institutions, interests and issues that shape Indonesian politics today. Guided by the overarching question whether Indonesia still deserves its famous label as a ‘model Muslim democracy’, the book argues that the most serious threats to Indonesian democracy emanate from the fading appeal of democracy as a compelling narrative, the increasingly brazen capture of democratic institutions by predatory interests, and the narrowing public space for those who seek to defend the values of democracy. In so doing, the book answers the following key questions:What are the dominant political narratives that underpin Indonesian politics?How has Indonesia’s institutional framework evolved since the onset of democratisation in 1998?How do competing political interests weaken or strengthen Indonesian democracy?How does declining democracy affect Indonesia’s prospects for dealing with its main policy challenges?How does Indonesia compare to other Muslim-majority states and to its regional neighbours?Up-to-date, comprehensive and written in an accessible style, this book will be of interest for both students and scholars of Indonesian politics, Asian Studies, Comparative Politics and International Relations.
