Course Contribution Description
At the Faculty of Law of Universitas Gadjah Mada the courses are shared by several lecturers. This website informs about the contents of my lectures in March and April 2020. They complement those of my colleagues from a comparative perspective. Studying the model of the European Union and its law is valuable for a better understanding of international organisations and their law in general, of ASEAN, and of their potential.
