| description | The development of public law is seldom regarded as a sine qua non for development. This is especially so in Asia where power and authority are viewed with respect rather than with suspicion, unlike in the west. This is ironic since Asian states have traditionally been very strong, and their roles have expanded greatly over the last forty years. Government intervention in the economy is now a given, and in many states, large bureaucracies, government agencies and government-linked companies have emerged. The expansion of the public sector calls for a legal framework of controls. If public law is to fulfill its function to check on the abuse or arbitrary exercise of executive power, it must grapple with three challenges: (a) Asian legal culture; (b) the need for governments to govern, seek legitimacy and maintain stability; and (c) extensive state intervention in the economy. |
