Asian Studies Review is a multidisciplinary journal of contemporary and modern Asia. The journal sets out to showcase high-quality scholarship on the modern histories, cultures, societies, languages, politics and religions of Asia through the publication of research articles, book reviews and review articles.
It welcomes the submission of research articles from across the broad spectrum of social sciences and humanities on all Asian regions and on international and transnational issues in which Asia is the major focus.
Asian Studies Review aims to publish a balanced mixture of articles in traditional and emerging disciplines. The invited review articles and book reviews reflect both the scholarship on display and the broader world of Asian Studies.
From 1977 until 1990 Asian Studies Review was known as the ASAA Review. It joined Blackwell Publishing in 1998 and moved to Taylor & Francis in 2004.

Why do activist groups representing some of society’s most marginalized employ legalistic forms of ‘rights talk’ when the reality of securing rights via the judicial system is almost unimaginable? The article considers this question in relation to the work of the Malaysian non-governmental organisation (NGO) EMPOWER who, in 2011, produced the Malaysian Women’s Human Rights Report focusing attention on the rights of informal sector workers, refugees, sexual minorities and women’s rights under non-Islamic family law.
