Rezensionen

"Tim Mann's Defending Legal Freedoms in Indonesia is an exciting new history and analysis of cause lawyering in Indonesia that sheds new light on challenges to and successes of the major cause lawyering movement there. It provides a framework for thinking about the rocky course of cause lawyering and public interest law more broadly in Asia and beyond, and will become a crucial text for academics and lawyers as they think about these important areas."

- Mark Sidel, Doyle-Bascom Professor of Law and Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"In this outstanding study, Timothy Mann brings alive the many dilemmas and obstacles members of Indonesia's Legal Aid Institute have encountered when using the legal system to extend and defend democratic rights. As well as providing a definitive account of Indonesia's most distinguished human rights organisation, Defending Legal Freedoms in Indonesia is packed with valuable insights for scholars and activists anywhere interested in democratic decline and how to resist it."

- Edward Aspinall, Professor of Politics, Department of Political & Social Change, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs
