Dear all,
On Tuesday 6 October from 1.00pm– 2.00pm, ALC will host the seminar “Constitutional Change in Myanmar: The Role of Courts in Authoritarian Regimes.”
In this seminar, Dr Melissa Crouch, Lecturer, Law Faculty, University of New South Wales, will focus on the constitutional writs, as set out in the Constitution of 2008, and its potential as an avenue for citizens to bring cases against government officials to the courts.
Dr Crouch will question whether the Constitution, as a document drafted over a period of 20 years in a process controlled and directed by the military regime, can take on new meanings and significance for its citizens.
It will take place in Room 920, Level 9, Melbourne Law School.
Please RSVP here.

Dear all,
On Thursday 8 October from 1.00pm– 2.00pm, ALC will host the seminar “Responding to Criticisms of China’s AML Enforcement.”
In this seminar, Associate Professor Xianjue Luo, School of Public Policy and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), will evaluate and discuss criticisms of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law.
This talk will focus on three most pressing categories of issue:
- Does AML enforcement deviate from the goals of competition policy?
- Is enforcement of the AML selective? Or does it favour State Owned Enterprises and discriminate against foreign enterprises?
- Is enforcement of the AML uncertain?
It will take place in the Level 10 Boardroom, Melbourne Law School.
To get to the Boardroom, take the lift to Level 9 and then the stairs to Level 10. Please be in touch if you require special access.
Please RSVP here.

The Asia Institute presents the Intra-University Workshop
Peace and Reconciliation in Asia and the Pacific
4:00-6:15pm (Seminar) 6:15-7:00pm (Reception)
Room 321, Sidney Myer Asia Centre
As the year 2015 marks the 70th year anniversary of the end of WWII, this workshop will reflect on how people in Asia and the Pacific have contributed towards post-war peace and reconciliation, and how this could be maintained in the future. While WWII has become a distant past, new geopolitical tensions are slowly emerging in the region. What can we do to tackle these challenges? What are the roles of younger generations? What is the role of universities? This workshop will invite you to reflect on your own role in Asia and the Pacific by engaging in stimulating discussions with scholars and students with diverse backgrounds.
Keynote Speakers: A/Prof. Kate Mcgregor (School of Historical & Philosophical Studies)
Dr. Sow Keat Tok (Asia Institute)
