Download or read book Law and Development in East and South East Asia written by Christoph Antons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-05 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s and 1990s Asian 'developmental states' attracted much attention in political science and economics literature, but the role of law in the economic development was neglected. It was only after the Asian crisis of 1997 that many analysts began to focus on a lack of regulation and transparency as a major factor triggering the crisis. The crucial questions now are how successful the current reforms will be, and which features of the Asian approach to commercial law will be resistant to reform pressures. This book examines the prospects for commercial law reform in Asia, giving particular attention to Japan and Singapore, as frequently cited role models for Asian developmentalism, and also examining development related business laws in countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Download or read book The Chinese Commercial Legal System written by Patricia Blazey and published by Law Book Company for New South Wales Bar Association. This book was released on 2008 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic power and influence of The People's Republic of China continues to grow. Accordingly, an appreciation of the commercial environment of China has never been so important. THE CHINESE COMMERCIAL LEGAL SYSTEM provides a valuable insight into significant features of commercial law and culture in China. Written by specialists on Chinese business law from Australia, South-East Asia and China itself, this book addresses the intricacies of Chinese business culture from both perspectives. The distinctiveness of this book lies in its consideration of the historical discussion of China's legal system, exploring the relationship between law, business and culture. The reader can then understand why China has never regarded law as fundamental to its business practice and why it is now rapidly passing laws in order to comply with its obligations under the WTO. The text also attempts to explain why Chinese culture permeates eery facet of commercial life.

Download or read book Law Capitalism and Power in Asia written by Kanishka Jayasuriya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-06-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenging and provocative book that contests the liberal assumption that the rule of law will go hand in hand with a transition to market-based economies and even democracy in East Asia. Using case studies from Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam, the authors argue that the rule of law is in fact more likely to provide political elites with the means closely to control civil society. It is essential, therefore, to locate conceptions of judicial independence and the rule of law more generally within the ideological vocabulary of the state.
Download or read book East Asian Law written by Lucie Cheng and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the tension in East Asia between the trend towards a convergence of legal practices in the direction of a universal model and a reassertion of local cultural practices. The trend towards convergence arises in part from 'globalisation', from 'rule of law programs' promulgated by institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank, and from widespread migration in the region, whilst the opposing trend arises in part from moves to resist such 'globalisation'. This book explores a wide range of issues related to this key problem, covering China in particular, where resolving differences in conceptions about the rule of law is a key issue as China begins to integrate itself into the World Trade Organisation regime.

Download or read book Transplanting Commercial Law Reform written by John Gillespie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first sustained analysis examining legal transplantation into East Asia, this volume examines the prospects for transplanting a 'rule of law' that will attract and sustain international trade and investment in this economically dynamic region. The book develops both a general model that explains how legal transplantation shapes legal development in the region, whilst developing theoretical insights into the political, economic and legal discourses guiding commercial law reforms in Vietnam. For the first time, this book develops a research methodology specifically designed to investigate law reform in developing East Asia. In so doing, it challenges the relevance of conventional convergence and divergence explanations for legal transplantation that have been developed in European and North American contexts. As the first finely-grained analysis of legal development in Vietnam, the book will be invaluable to academics and researchers working in this area. It will also be of interest to those involved in commercial legal theory.

This book was released on 1992-06-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many indications that the twentieth century will be the `Asian century', with several countries there approaching rapid and sustained economic development, fuelled by neighbouring investor countries. This book provides the ultimate manual for investors interested in setting up a joint venture in the Far East, and presents the legal nuts and bolts of that process with respect to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. A final item argues persuasively for alternatives to traditional dispute resolution methods, and will greatly assist drafting of such contracts. Matters addressed systematically are: the selection of a J.V. vehicle, control of a J.V. company, tax incentives, acquisition of real property, government authorizations, legal procedures for termination, and legal status of dispute resolution methods. This book presents the work of the IBA's Committee on Business Organizations, convened in Hong Kong in 1991. The considerable experience brought to bear on this subject by leading international legal practitioners renders this work an invaluable tool for the investor in the 1990s and beyond.

Download or read book Private International Law in East Asia written by Olivier Gaillard and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the conflict of law rules in East Asian states, with a focus on the laws in China and Japan but looking also at South Korea. Beyond a description of the substance of the current law, the book highlights the evolution these jurisdictions have undergone since being adopters of rules developed in European and North American legal systems. As evidenced by recent modernisations in their private law regimes, East Asian states are now innovators, creating rules that are more suited to the local concerns. Significantly, the new approaches to private international law taken by China and Japan are themselves being adopted by other jurisdictions, shifting the locus of influence in this important area of law. The chapters in parts one and two give a contextual overview of the legal regimes of China, Japan, and South Korea and a more in-depth view of the rules on private international law. This will foster a deeper understanding of how the systems are changing to better fit the particular national approaches to law. Part three provides a detailed look at the conflict rules relevant to commercial law, specifically as regards international jurisdiction of courts, while Part four examines the rules applying to family law and succession law. Written in an easily accessible style, the book is a valuable resource for scholars as well as practitioners of East Asian law, private international law, and comparative law.

Download or read book Regional Economic Integration and Dispute Settlement in East Asia written by Anna G Tevini and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accession of the People's Republic of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 significantly transformed the global economy both de facto and de jure. At the regional level, China's WTO accession served as an important catalyst for the establishment of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) in East Asia. This was a novel development for the region, since East Asian States had previously followed a largely informal, market-driven approach to regional economic integration. By contrast, rules-based economic integration involving East Asian States was traditionally limited to multilateral integration under the GATT/WTO framework. This book systematically analyses and explains the development, nature and challenges of rules-based regional economic integration in East Asia with particular attention to the region's first four RTAs. While also addressing the socio-economic, historical and political factors influencing the development of RTAs in East Asia, the book focuses on the legal institutions governing economic integration in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as under the ASEAN–China Comprehensive Economic Co-Operation Agreement (ACFTA), the Japan–Singapore New Age Economic Partnership Agreement (JSEPA), and the Mainland China–Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA). The book provides a systematic, comparative account of the scope, depth and (hard law versus soft law) quality of rules-based economic integration achieved under these four RTAs in the areas of trade in goods and services, investment liberalisation and protection, labour mobility, and dispute settlement.
