[CALS] Book Publication: The Basic Structure Doctrine in Malaysia: Themes and Perspectives

July 11, 2025 | Faculty, In the News, Research

CALS Adjunct Professor Kevin YL Tan has published his book, “The Basic Structure Doctrine in Malaysia: Themes and Perspectives”. Co-authored with HP Lee, the book presents an in-depth interrogation of the theory and application of the Basic Structure Doctrine in the Federation of Malaysia. This collection of essays responds to this extremely important debate on the limits of constitutional amendments as a form of constitution-making in Malaysia by considering the theory behind the Basic Structure Doctrine and critically examining how it has been harnessed by the Federal Court and by other political actors on the ground.
