This book fills a gap in the literature by presenting a comprehensive overview of the key issues relating to law and development in Asia. Over recent decades, experts in law and development have produced multiple theories on law and development, none of which were derived from close study of Asian countries, and none of which fit very well with the existing evidence of how law actually functioned in these countries during periods of rapid economic development. The book discusses the different models of law and development, including both the developmental state model of the 1960s and the neo-liberal model of the 1980s, and shows how development has worked out in practice in relation to these models in a range of Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, Singapore, India and Mongolia. Particular themes examined include constitutionalism, judicial and legal reform; labour law; the growing importance of private rights; foreign investment and the international law of development. Reflecting the complexity of Asian law and society, both those who believe in an "Asian Way" which is radically different from law and development in other parts of the world, as well as those who believe the arc of law and development is essentially universal, will find support in this book.

Since the ‘lost decade’ of the nineties, the progress of Japanese administrative and economic reform has been intense. Although some early critics characterized the reforms as ‘window dressing,’ it is becoming clearer that systemic reform has taken hold and the new Japanese economy is picking up. This deeply knowledgeable book provides a penetrating analysis and expert evaluation of matters of crucial concern to business lawyers — including corporate governance, contract law, business liabilities, intellectual property, media, employment, taxation, investment, the legal profession, the judiciary, and much more — as they are developing and intersecting in Japan today.
In the course of the detailed presentation, the contributors touch on such details of interest to those doing business in Japan as the following:
• status of foreign lawyers;• mergers and acquisitions and leveraged buyouts;• grounds for terminating contracts;• real estate transactions;• financing and capital markets;• antimonopoly law and licensing guidelines;• IT and e-commerce law;• managing, disciplining, and terminating employees;• occupational safety and health;• labor union law;• corporation income taxation;• government programs offering low cost finance;• consumer protection laws; and• litigation and alternative dispute resolution.One of the most valuable benefits of the contributors’ approach is the keen insight offered into the tatemae (outward appearance) well known to frustrate and mislead foreigners in almost any dealings with the Japanese.
Japanese Business Law is not only the first book to tackle this important subject in its current and developing mode; it is also not likely to be superseded in its superb combination of sweeping overview, minute detail, and cultural insight. Business lawyers, corporate counsel, and business executives worldwide will welcome it.
