Centre for International Law (CIL) is pleased to invite scholars to the 2nd edition of the ASEAN Law Academy (15-23 August 2019) in Singapore, a cross-disciplinary master’s level intensive course aimed at equipping professors, policymakers, and practitioners with a deeper understanding of ASEAN institutions and key developments in ASEAN’s economic integration, foreign affairs and legal framework.
ASEAN has for some time been an important political, economic and legal reality in its 10 Member States. The teaching of ASEAN at university level constitutes a concomitant imperative both as part of the general education we must impart to our students as well as the need for professionally trained graduates who can operate within the ASEAN environment, both in the public and private sectors, with professional competence and an adequate skill set. |

And yet teaching ASEAN remains a challenge – a result of many factors among them the cross disciplinary nature of the subject, the corresponding difficulty of creating syllabi of such and the lack of a tradition of ASEAN courses.
The 2019 Academy is a special session directed at University teachers already teaching or interested in teaching this subject. The first part of the program will review the essential building blocks of ASEAN in its central areas of activity. The second part will be dedicated to the didactics of teaching ASEAN – Syllabi, classroom techniques, exams and the like. It will also be a forum in which one could share experiences and exchange views related to the teaching of ASEAN. The educator programme will conclude with an academic conference that offers scholars an invaluable opportunity to present their research and writing at an international forum, and to garner expert feedback from their peers.
CIL encourages university teachers from all fields, especially those from the faculties of economics, law, and political science, including those who have an interest in ASEAN but have not yet taught ASEAN to apply and participate. We believe this community of scholars will find the programme extremely useful. To facilitate attendance, a limited number of scholarships are available.
