Book Description
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act of 2019 may become one of the strongest data privacy laws in Asia. It is much stronger than the previous Bill, both in terms of its principles and its enforcement. However, the picture will not be complete until the many rules that can be made by its data protection authority (the PDPC), and any Royal Decrees granting exemptions, are developed.The main significance of the Thai law is that it is the first explicitly 'GDPR-based' law to yet be enacted in Asia, ahead of the GDPR-informed draft Bills in India and Indonesia, While not all of the innovations of the EU GDPR's data protection principles are included in the PDPA, a substantial set are included. Following the Thai 2019 elections, the EU is again willing to re-commence negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA) with Thailand and is its third-largest trading partner.For businesses operating in Thailand, this Act imposes serious obligations, but to assess their full extent they will need to obtain much further information which is not yet available.For data subjects the PDPA creates serious rights and remedies not previously available, and the Act overall is a major step forward. From the perspective of Civil Society, the complex administrative and enforcement structure of the Act raises difficulties in determining who could be held responsible for effective enforcement. The potential scope of exemptions are also of great concern.The enforcement mechanisms in the Act are all much stronger than in the previous Bill. Rights of appeal against administrative fines and other decisions of the PDPC or its expert Committees, and in criminal prosecutions, might benefit from some further clarity.All of these matters are examined in detail in this article.

Book Description
This book provides a comparison and practical guide for academics, students, and the business community of the current data protection laws in selected Asia Pacific countries (Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand) and the European Union. The book shows how over the past three decades the range of economic, political, and social activities that have moved to the internet has increased significantly. This technological transformation has resulted in the collection of personal data, its use and storage across international boundaries at a rate that governments have been unable to keep pace. The book highlights challenges and potential solutions related to data protection issues arising from cross-border problems in which personal data is being considered as intellectual property, within transnational contracts and in anti-trust law. The book also discusses the emerging challenges in protecting personal data and promoting cyber security. The book provides a deeper understanding of the legal risks and frameworks associated with data protection law for local, regional and global academics, students, businesses, industries, legal profession and individuals.

Book Description
This book provides a comparison and practical guide for academics, students, and the business community of the current data protection laws in selected Asia Pacific countries (Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand) and the European Union. The book shows how over the past three decades the range of economic, political, and social activities that have moved to the internet has increased significantly. While the book demonstrates that in some jurisdictions that the protection of personal data is viewed in the context of protecting a human right, the book also demonstrates that there are increasingly economic factors that need to considered. That is, various models and legal frameworks have emerged that, provide a level of privacy protection over the Internet. The models and legal frameworks also, in part, taken a subtle but important focus by enabling data protection law to be an effective tool to further protect privacy. Moreover, depending on the state or jurisdiction, the model adopted will be heavily influenced by their past, economic and religious backgrounds. Thus, what has also emerged is a framework that protects personal data, but also, takes a business friendly approach, to promote the digital economy. This technological transformation has resulted in the collection of personal data, its use and storage across international boundaries at a rate that governments have been unable to keep pace.The book highlights challenges and potential solutions related to data protection issues arising from cross- border problems in which personal data is being considered as intellectual property, within transnational contracts and in anti-trust law. More importantly, the book also discusses the emerging challenges in protecting personal data and promoting cyber security. The book provides a deeper understanding of the legal risks and frameworks associated with data protection law for local, regional and global academics, students, businesses, industries, legal profession and individuals.

Book Description
This is a book for an extraordinary time, about a pandemic for which there is no modern precedent. It is an edited collection of original essays on Asia's legal and policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, which, in a matter of months, swept around the globe, infecting millions. It transformed daily life in almost every corner of the planet: lockdowns of cities and entire countries, physical distancing and quarantines, travel restrictions and border controls, movement-tracking technology, mandatory closures of all but essential services, economic devastation and mass unemployment, and government assistance programs on record-breaking scales. Yet a pandemic on this scale, under contemporary conditions of globalization, has left governments and their advisors scrambling to improvise solutions, often themselves unprecedented in modern times, such as the initial lockdown of Wuhan. This collection of essays analyzes law and policy responses across Asia, identifying cross-cutting themes and challenges. It taps the collective knowledge of an interdisciplinary team of sixty-one researchers both in the service of policy development, and with the goal of establishing a scholarly baseline for research after the storm has passed. The collection begins with an epidemiological overview and survey of the law and policy themes. The jurisdiction-specific case studies and cross-cutting thematic essays cover five topics: first wave containment measures; emergency powers; technology, science, and expertise; politics, religion, and governance; and economy, climate, and sustainability. Chapter 20: Cambodia: Public Health, Economic, and Political Dimensions by Ratana Ly, Vandanet Hing, & Kimsan Soy is available for free.

Book Description
This book looks at the consumer protection offered in a range of Asian countries, for example China, Japan, and South Korea in key areas such as consumer sales law, unfair terms, product liability, and unfair commercial practices. However, it is interesting to note that consumer protection is on the rise everywhere and to compare how this differs depending upon the legal cultures. It is also fascinating to reflect on the influence of models for law reform such as the EU laws. ASEAN has also affected the development of consumer policy for its member states. The book takes the form of national reports which explain the development of the law and also shed light on how the law works in practice. The book also contains thematic reports which look at each area of the law from a comparative perspective. Commentators from around the globe reflect on their impression of Asian consumer law based on their own differing legal systems and benchmarks. A must-read for anyone with an interest in consumer law in Asia and beyond, this book will form the basis of further research and discussion internationally.

Book Description
This book provides an innovative outlook of the various challenges of international law in the Asian region. Moving away from the Eurocentrism prevalent in the literature on the subject, it provides a comprehensive Asian perspective without adopting a monolithic or homogeneous Asian approach. Although Asian countries converge on certain issues related to international law, such as engagement with the United Nations, at times, there is a significant divergence, such as in the case of agricultural trade liberalisation. Given the vastness of the region and the differing political systems, there are many discrepancies to consider. The book takes into account the viewpoint of civil society so as to avoid a vertical state‐centred approach. Offering an easy-to-understand presentation of key issues concerning the region, this book is a useful introduction to this complex topic for students, academics and practitioners of international law.
