Petra Mahy

I am both a lawyer and an anthropologist and my research interests fall in the discipline of socio-legal and regulatory studies. My current research projects are concerned with the comparative historical evolution of company law and labour law in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. This research is employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies for charting legal change. I also research the interactions between formal and informal forms of regulation and their role in determining working conditions.
