Taking Indonesia and the Global South countries as a starting point for exploring legal conversation represents critical but more likely underrepresented discourse amidst the structural dominance of legal knowledge production in the Global South. The term "Global South" frequently refers to the unequal power relations that shape the lives of current and former colonised, enslaved, and dispossessed nations by imperial powers, believed as an epistemological grid of power, not a geographic divide, that has shaped academic knowledge, including legal studies. However, while many southern countries follow the West-led perspectives to legal development, the trajectory to designing their distinctive features has flourished and encouraged legal scholars to explore more complex relations due to politically, socially, and culturally diverse, whose legal developments are often directed to respond to newly emerging economies and divided societies. Therefore, this journal adds an increasingly important cross-border legal analysis with the Global South standpoint, primarily by considering southern countries' voices and experiences in legal development.
