Abstract

This chapter reviews the transformation of court systems in Southeast Asia with particular attention to their growing role in governance-part of a general trend towards the ‘judicialization of politics.’ Hirschl (2006: 72) describes that trend as “the ever-accelerating reliance on courts and judicial means for addressing core moral predicaments, public policy questions, and political controversies, ” which has been significant in Southeast Asia for the last 25 years. Yet not unlike the institution of the judiciary itself, the trend is not well understood.
