Cette collection d’essais, qui rassemble d’éminents historiens du droit de diverses juridictions et cultures, traite des fondements méthodologiques fondamentaux de la recherche en histoire juridique. On a wide chronological range and a wide range of topics, participants explore the approaches, methods and sources that together form the basis of their research and highlight the complexity of research in the history of law. By examining the challenges of visual, unwritten, and quasi-legal sources, the difficulties of traditional archival documents, and the novelty of exploring the development of legal culture and comparative perspectives, the book reveals the richness and dynamics of historical legal research. “This volume is highly recommended to all those involved in research in the history of law. It contains a lot of very practical advice and clearly articulates the methods of many leading scientists in the field.

Professor Musson and Professor Stebbings deserve to be congratulated for writing a very useful and well-presented book. No university law library should be without a copy. Andrew R. C. Simpson, The Edinburgh Law Review The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is the leading forum for the study and discussion of law and jurisprudence. All public meetings that the leaders have not organized or approved themselves pose a latent political threat to the dominant group. The political regime contains the implicit assumption that subordinates mobilize only if they have the right to do so. As a result, successful governments in Myanmar and before that in Burma have consistently sought to administer, control and ban public gatherings.

The British colonial government attributed an inherently criminal quality to the public assembly. The colonial model for their administration by the courts and police remained in the following decades, but the way it is applied has changed. This chapter examines this change in three major protest events under successive military governments in 1974, 1988 and 2007. It focuses on the events of 2007 and explains how protesters accidentally went through a fluke in what Giorgio Agamben calls the “zone of anomie”, which is neither completely inside nor outside the legal system, but an area where legal provisions are disabled. In 2007, two extrajudicial institutions created the economic zone that enveloped the demonstrators. A proxy policy, “the gang,” allowed people to move into rooms where officers could hold them and hold them without ordinary rules. When I read Agamben, I refer to these rooms as “the camp”.
