Selected Contemporary Issues on Law, Social, and Politics
Keywords:
law, social, politicsSynopsis
There could be many reasons for any book to be written. This book, however, is particularly a reflection of a spirit of collaboration and partnership at the higher education level. As stated in the preface, collaboration and partnerships in higher education can be an inspiration for lecturers and students who have the same mission for academic excellence. The culture of achieving excellence requires a serious will to forge it because it does not rule out the possibility of collaboration and partnership only ending on paper. This book is proof showing the results of the ongoing collaboration between Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Malaysia, and Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), Indonesia, especially those involving the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of UNAIR and Faculty of Law and International Relations of UniZSA, each of which is led by the Department of International Relations. Both parties have the same vision and mission in maintaining the spirit of partnership because the benefits obtained by lecturers and students are tangible. UniSZA and UNAIR have also shown that collaboration and partnerships can be sustainable if there are parties who are committed to upholding the values that have been maintained. Therefore, cross-border collaboration between two universities can be a model for regional cooperation in higher education. While this book can be a reminder that scientific work can be disseminated in various forms other than on the mainstream platform, this book is also an alternative source of learning for lecturers, students, and the public. For higher education, moreover, this book can be a medium to strengthen academic networks and a means of communication for its authors. As a result of academic collaboration, this book presents a selected contemporary issue related to law, social issues, and politics. The book is divided into three parts: law, social, and politics.
