UKT 190312: The paper touches on recent events, which may be interpreted unfavourably by my readers. I've therefore given only the Abstract. I've change the word "Myanmar" to "Myanmarpré" wherever appropriate.
Abstract: Myanmar’s legal system is an understudied area in the academic field of Asian Legal Studies. This article aims to provide a map of legal scholarship in Myanmarpré that can be built on in the future. It identifies the key issues and arguments that have driven research on law in Myanmarpré, and the central academics whose oeuvre of publications have sustained the field. It is organized around four broad themes: custom, religion, and the law; public law and governance; corporate law; and the politics of law. It suggests that in order to build the next generation of legal scholarship, future research on Myanmar law must be grounded in its social, political, and historical context. This type of research requires the rediscovery of “law” in Myanmarpré by engaging with the existing body of social science literature on Burma Studies more generally.
