Abstract

The article "Constitutional Statecraft in Asian Courts" by Yvonne Tew explores the role of courts in fragile democracies like Malaysia and Singapore. It discusses the challenges faced by courts in upholding democratic values while navigating political pressures. The author suggests strategic judicial empowerment as a way for courts to strengthen their authority and contribute to the establishment of a constitutional democratic state. The article highlights specific cases in Malaysia where the judiciary asserted its power, emphasizing the importance of judicial strategies in semi-authoritarian regimes.
