I Acknowledgements I wish to record my thanks to the following people for the invaluable help and advice they have provided.

The aim of the underlying research has been to examine this form of democracy as it is revealed in one country (Switzerland) and within that to focus on a specific canton (Geneva); secondly to compare it with the democratic structure of the United Kingdom and again focusing on a particular region - the County of Buckinghamshire. In each case, at the local level, I have chosen one sensitive issue - education- and considered how far people participated in their own destinies, written from a United Kingdom background.

  • Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: a Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development
    Discussion Paper No.19 Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development Edited by Aziz Ismatov and Emi Makino August, 2020 Nagoya University Center for Asian Legal Exchange Center for Asian Legal Exchange (CALE) Nagoya University, Japan Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development Edited by Aziz Ismatov and Emi Makino FOREWORD This research discussion paper provides a study on theory and practices of constitutional review developments in five selected Asian jurisdictions, Myanmar, Singapore, Korea, including Russia and Uzbekistan, which in some scholarly works are also addressed as Eurasia. The objective is to create systematic narratives to document theoretical grounds and practical aspects of constitutional review, collect and present to a broader audience comparative, historical, analytical, and critical perspectives covering constitutional judiciary in Asia. We hope that this collection will be of high interest for scholars, practitioners, and students of comparative constitutional law, human rights, democracy, the rule of law, constitutional adjudication, and Asia’s legal systems. The general philosophy of constitutional review presupposes that constitutional courts are established to limit or balance executive and legislative branches’ activities. In such circumstances, scholars and practitioners expect that constitutional courts would work as neutral arbitrators among the two branches. Simultaneously, the vital role of the constitutional court which is a protection of fundamental rights is sometimes neglected within the broader context of political involvement. Contributors to this discussion paper were all invited to attend the workshop on Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia held at the Department of Law, University of Yangon, on October 22, 2019, and present their draft papers for this workshop.

  • CHAPTER7 Myanmar's Security Outlook and the Myanmar Defence Services
    CHAPTER 7 Myanmar’s Security Outlook and the Myanmar Defence Services Tin Maung Maung Than Introduction: Elected civilian government and the military in politics There were expressions of disappointment and even outright condemnation by the West and opposition groups that viewed the 7 November 2010 elections, held under the auspices of the ruling State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), as neither free nor fair as well as lacking inclusiveness. Allegations of votes being manipulated in favour of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP that was transformed from the military-sponsored Union Solidarity and Development Organization, led by former prime minister and retired general U Thein Sein), the boycott of National League for Democracy (NLD, which convincingly won the 1990 election and whose leader Nobel laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was still under house arrest had refused to re-register for competing in the polls) and complaints of unfair election laws tarnished the victory of the USDP which won overwhelmingly. By winning over 79 percent of the contested seats in the Pyithu Hluttaw (People’s Assembly or lower house of parliament) and nearly 77 percent in the Amyotha Hluttaw (National Assembly or upper house of parliament) at the national level and substantially (majority party in all seven states and seven regions) at the provincial level, the USDP was in a position to form the Union Government as well as the respective Region/State Governments.
