This is an ambitious project, covering both common and civil law jurisdictions,... to facilitate conversations both between Asian jurisdictions and Asian and European jurisdictions, and to promote the development and teaching of courses on comparative Asian contract law in law schools worldwide. [The collection is] a fascinating read for contract lawyers interested in the evolution of contract law or wishing to gain insights into the application of contractual remedies across the world For comparative lawyers interested in legal transplants, there is also much to consider. I very much look forward to the appearance of the next five volumes in this series and the editors are to be commended in providing a valuable addition to comparative law scholarship.
