The Symbiotic Relationship Between Law and
Development in Southeast Asia
Table of
18

Since childhood, we
have been raised
under a systemized
bracket of rules and
regulations, and there is
always a force of
regulators who stop us
from retraining our
actions. In case of breaking
these rules, we are often
found under the spotlight
of punishment.
These rules and
regulations are not only
meant for children; they
are meant for everyone,
and as we grow older,
these laws become more
serious, making us socially
responsible. Moreover, if
someone tries to break
those rules and
regulations, in that case,
many appointed
jurisdictions look out for
the matter and punish the
rule breakers of the
society for the unlawful
activity and set an example
for others to note.
But who decides the
punishments for the
people who are
performing wrong
activities? If the activity is
criminal, the person's
sentence must be decided
in the court of law. For
instance, if someone is
working in bad faith in a
commercial space, then
the level of punishment
and penalty must be
decided in a way that
should prevail in justice
and restore the faith of law
in people once again.
The court's judge
decides all these
punishments once the
criminal's crime is proved
in the court and there are
appointed lawyers who
ight against wrong. But
again, do lawyers and
judges make the
punishments for such
signi icant crimes?
Every country has their
constitution, in which the
legal authorities have
written the guidelines
under different sections
for the society, and every-
body doesn't know about
all the sections. If someone
wants to know them, they
need to study law.
Many institutions
provide professional
degrees to future lawyers
to learn the law. The main
motive of all the law
institutions is to make
their students capable so
that they can take the right
decisions and do justice to
each and every person.
Similarly, Universitas
Airlangga, Faculty of
Law, is one of the best law
universities that holds law
as the highest order. And it
is clearly stated in its
vision statement,
'professional jurist.' The
institutes' primary
objective is to make aware,
innovate and implement
the law in their country.
It is one of the older and
renowned law schools in
Indonesia. The alums of
the college hold
prestigious positions in
legal institutions in their
country Indonesia, the
positions like chief justice
at the supreme court,
constitutional court
justice, lawyers, and many
other superior positions.
In an interaction with
The Education View, Iman
Prihandono, the Dean of
the institute, shared the
institute's journey and the
institute's adopted
technological strategies
and future goals.
Read ahead to have a
brief about the institute
and know about their
exceptional pedagogies
that serve their vision.
Origin of the Institute
Faculty of Law Universitas
Airlangga was irst
established in 1951 and
joined Universitas
Airlangga in 1954. It is one
of the oldest law schools in
Indonesia, with a long
history and tradition in
legal education. Its alums
have been entrusted with
prestigious positions in
legal institutions in
Indonesia, including the
Chief Justice at the
Supreme Court,
Constitutional Court
Justice, The Attorney
General, Vice Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and
reputable lawyers.
As the third law school,
which was established in
the early independence of
Indonesia, the Faculty of
Law Universitas Airlangga
has contributed to the
journey of Indonesian
legal development. It sets
the keyword 'professional
jurist' as an effective term
to focus the curriculum on
preparing graduates ready
to support the good
implementation of law in
many areas of legal
professions.
However, shaping
professionals in the school
has always been the heart
of the faculty institute
since its establishment.
While supporting their
ambition, the Faculty of
Law Universitas Airlangga
has initiated various
strategies like:
• Maintaining academic
quality through
achieving accreditation
from reputable national
and international
accreditation institutions

Renewable Energy, Law
and Technology, and all
these three goals have
been chosen recently as
research streams. All
these three milestones
are carried over
sustainably for years and
have created well-
established higher legal
education.
When we were talking
about the institute, Iman
Prihandono highlighted
the college's vision and
mission statement ahead:
Statement of Vision and
Mission
While stepping ahead and
diving for more
information about the
college, Iman Prihandono
enlightens us with the
institute's vision and says,
"Faculty of law that
provides excellent legal
education which deeply
rooted to justice and
morality, positively
contribute at a national

Sliding down and
highlighting the mission
statements, he adds,
• "To provide a legal

After stating the
institute's vision and
mission statements, Iman
Prihandono also shared
the core competencies of
the institute.
Core Competencies and
its Corollary
The Faculty of Law's vision
aligns with the UNAIR's
vision to promote a
curriculum that produces
independent, innovative,
adaptable, and
professional graduates. In
this context, the institutes'
study program is designed
to provide quali ications
with practice in the legal
profession (such as judge,
prosecutor, lawyer, legal
consultant, government
of icials, business and
economic sectors) at the
national or international
level.
The Faculty of Law's vision
aligns with the UNAIR's vision to
promote a curriculum that
produces independent,
innovative, adaptable, and
professional graduates.
“
“

Core competencies that
are expected to be
acquired by the graduates
should be re lected in their
pro ile as the
characteristics mentioned
in the Curriculum
Document. The pro ile is
described as follows:
• Professionals
• Researcher
• Manager
• Leader
Through the Curriculum
Document, the Learning
outcome of the study
program is to produce
quali ied graduates as
professional jurists.
Professional Jurist means
that the graduates of the
program are expected to-
• Understand the
concepts, principles,
and rules of law as a
basis for mastering
legal competencies
(pro iciency and
skills).
• Have legal reasoning
ability in applying
legal concepts,
principles, and norms
to solve legal
problems through
litigation and non-
litigation mechanisms.
• Have the ability to
research, conduct
community service,
and develop the law in
an innovative manner.
Getting an insightful
view of the core
competencies and their
outcome, we also get
enlightened with the
university's students'
organizations which all
cater for future abiding
law leaders.
Student's Union
There are 15 students
organizations at the
faculty level and many
more at the university
level that can be classi ied
according to the areas of
interest, namely: arts (i.e.,
choir, traditional music,
dance, orchestra); sports
and martial arts (i.e.,
basketball, karate, wushu)
and academic (i.e., debate,
mooting-court) and also a
student senate. There are
various notable
achievements have been
collected by law students.
Apart from students'
organizations, the institute
has 13 research centres at
the Faculty of Law to
facilitate lecturers and
students who share the
same research interest, for
instance, Human Rights
Law Studies; Health Law
Research Centre; Research
Centre on Intellectual
Property Law Centre for
Legal Pluralism;
Constitutional Law
Research Centre; Anti-
Corruption Research
Centre; and Airlangga
Institute for International
Law Studies.
Other than this, the
institute has certain global
exposures for their
students, and those
programs have been
discussed.
Internationalization
Strategies
The faculty sets up targets
and policies to ensure
international orientation
is sustained in its business
process. The approaches
are:

aw and development
Lshare an inseparable
bond in Southeast
Asia, a region where legal
frameworks form the
cornerstone of economic
growth, social advancement,
and sustainable
development.
Understanding the
intricate relationship
between law and
development in Southeast
Asia is paramount, as it
sheds light on the profound
impact legal systems have
on the region's economic
and social progress. This
article delves into the
symbiotic connection
between law and
Asia, delving into the far-
reaching implications of
legal systems, the pivotal
role of legal institutions, and
the challenges and
opportunities that emerge
on the path toward
harmonious progress.
Legal frameworks in
Southeast Asia serve as
catalysts for economic
growth, providing the
essential structure that
facilitates entrepreneurial
endeavors, fosters
innovation, and attracts
both domestic and foreign
investments.

Law and Progress
The Symbiotic
Relationship
Between Law
and Development
in Southeast
Asia

By establishing clear
rules, protecting property
rights, and ensuring the rule
of law, these legal systems
instill con idence and
stability, creating an
environment conducive to
business development and
long-term economic
prosperity.
The Power of Legal
Systems in Driving
Development
Legal systems provide the
foundation for economic
and social development by
establishing clear rules,
ensuring the protection of
rights, and facilitating fair
and ef icient transactions. In
Southeast Asia, countries
with strong and well-
functioning legal
frameworks have
experienced signi icant
economic growth and
attracted foreign
investments. These legal
systems provide a sense of
stability and predictability,
fostering an environment
conducive to business
development,
entrepreneurship, and
innovation.
Creating Enabling
Environments for
Investment
One of the key aspects
where law and development
intersect in Southeast Asia
is in creating enabling
environments for
investment. Strong legal
frameworks that protect
property rights enforce
contracts, and ensure the
rule of law are essential in
attracting domestic and
foreign investments. By
providing legal certainty
and safeguards against
arbitrary actions, these legal
systems instil con idence in
investors and encourage
long-term commitments,
leading to sustained
economic growth and
development.
Promoting Social Justice
and Inclusive
Development
Law and development are
not solely focused on
economic progress but also
aim to promote social
justice and inclusive
development. Legal systems
play a crucial role in
ensuring access to justice,
protecting human rights,
and addressing social
inequalities. Southeast
Asian countries have made
signi icant strides in
developing legal
frameworks that prioritize
the welfare of marginalized
communities, women's
rights, and environmental
sustainability. Through
progressive legislation and
judicial interventions, these
legal systems strive to
create a more equitable
society and foster inclusive
development.
The Role of Legal
Institutions
Legal institutions, such as
courts, regulatory bodies,
and law enforcement
agencies, are vital for the
effective functioning of the
legal system and its impact
on development. In
Southeast Asia, efforts are
being made to strengthen
the capacity and
independence of these
institutions to ensure fair
and impartial justice,
ef icient dispute resolution,
and effective
implementation of laws and
regulations. Building strong
legal institutions is essential
to creating an environment
where the rule of law
prevails, and development
can lourish.
Challenges and
Opportunities
While the symbiotic
relationship between law
and development in
Southeast Asia is evident,
there are challenges that
need to be addressed. Some
of the key challenges
include corruption, weak
enforcement mechanisms,
inadequate access to justice,
and legal barriers to
inclusive development.
Overcoming these
challenges requires
sustained efforts to enhance
transparency, strengthen
legal institutions, and
improve legal education and
awareness among the
population.
However, Southeast Asia
also presents signi icant
opportunities for leveraging
the law to drive
development. The region's
dynamic economies,
cultural diversity, and
commitment to regional
integration provide a
favorable environment for
legal innovations,
collaboration, and
knowledge sharing.
Embracing technology,
promoting legal reforms,
and fostering partnerships
among governments, civil
society, and the private
sector can unlock the full
potential of law as a catalyst
for sustainable development
in Southeast Asia.
In conclusion, the
inseparable relationship
between law and
Asia is evident through the
pivotal role played by legal
systems in fostering
economic growth, social
progress, and inclusive
development. By
establishing favorable
conditions for investment,
ensuring social justice, and
fortifying legal institutions,
Southeast Asian nations are
harnessing the
transformative power of law
to drive their development
agendas forward.
Looking ahead, Southeast
Asia is poised to seize
promising opportunities for
further advancement. The
dynamic economies,
cultural diversity, and
commitment to regional
integration create a fertile
ground for legal
innovations, partnerships,
and knowledge exchange.
By leveraging technological
advancements and fostering
multi-stakeholder
collaborations, Southeast
Asian nations can continue
to enhance the symbiotic
relationship between law
and development, paving
the way for sustainable
progress and prosperity in
the years to come.
