Delineating Legal Boundaries
This article examines the evolving nature of legal boundaries within Malaysia's plural legal system, focusing on how civil and Islamic jurisdictions are differentiated and coordinated in practice. It contrasts two distinct models of legal boundary-making: contested and exclusive boundaries in personal law – particularly in cases involving unilateral child conversion – and the more cooperative, integrated approach seen in Islamic banking and finan…
The Bureaucratisation of Islam in Southeast Asia
Special Issue on this topic. In their specific local contexts, state- and non-state projects of bureaucratising Islam are driven by very different socio-political motivations and conditioned by equally different (albeit often interconnected and overlapping) historical trajectories and their discursive substrates. In this special issue, we examine this transnationally and transregionally observable phenomenon in the context of Southeast Asia, wher…
Branding Islam
Islam plays a pivotal political role in Southeast Asian countries, where the governments that have ruled since independence have been concerned with influencing the trajectory, content, hermeneutic and style of the legal traditions of their Muslim citizens and reconciling them with the states’ wider policy objectives. This contribution looks at one particular tool for this form of ‘guiding’ Islam – the codification of Islam – comparing the codes …

However, existing concepts and language in the broader literature on diffusion limit our ability to analyze and assess the contestation of ideas, especially as it is sustained a…
Islam, the monarchy and criminal law in Brunei
Efforts to expand the application of Islamic criminal law in Muslim majority states to implement hudud laws present governments with difficult choices between modern human rights norms and conservative local understandings of Islamic tradition. The governments of Muslim majority countries in Southeast Asia used to be very reluctant to embrace hudud but that has begun to change in recent decades. In Brunei, the introduction of a sweeping and conse…
