About asia blogs
‘asia blogs’ is a multidisciplinary legal blog run by an international editorial team. We aim to advance students and academicians’ participation in ensuring originality and creativity, assessing the intersectionality while exploring the interdisciplinary research work.
Research Questions
- Why does mainstream scholarship eschew interdisciplinary issues of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and Critical Race Theory (CRT)? How can TWAIL and CRT scholarship remedy this educational gap?
- Can a system of global administrative law hold solutions for power imbalances in decision-making present in international organizations and development policies?
- In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, what are the international legal implications of possible reduction in foreign aid spending?
- Can development aid work in the international architecture of cooperation without repeating and perpetuating post-colonial and racist hegemony? To this end, what will be the role of international law?
