This book analyses the complex system of contract law operating in the Greater Bay Area and examines the independent legal systems of Hong Kong, Macau and China in light of the region’s rapid economic integration. The book explores the differences between these systems in theory and in practice, and identifies the challenges and pathways to legal harmonisation in the region.Hao Jiang brings together expert contributors, both from within the region itself and outside of it, to conduct a systematic doctrinal analysis of the region’s contract and sales law. Contributing authors assess legal transplants specifically tracing the influence of German civil law on China along with English common law and Portuguese civil law on Hong Kong and Macau. Chapters cover key doctrinal topics where the three laws converge and diverge including contract formation, pre-contractual liability, vitiating factors, good faith, change of circumstances, and remedies. Ultimately, the book highlights how a unified contract and sales law could facilitate cross-border transactions in the region, and lays the foundations for future empirical research on this subject.Providing a comparative study of Chinese, Hong Kong and Macau contract law through the lens of European law, Towards a Model Sales Law in the Greater Bay Area is an essential resource for scholars, students and practitioners of private, sales and contract law.

This book examines corporate governance rules in China, and highlights the deficiencies in current company law, with the purpose of arguing for a more effective derivative action mechanism, for the benefit of shareholders and their companies.Throughout the book, Jingchen focuses on how to build a more effective, accessible and balanced mechanism for derivation action in order to promote more sound corporate governance in China. He examines two significant questions, namely - the possibility of transplanting legal regimes and rules from other jurisdictions, and how this sits against the practical experiences from the last fifteen years. The book includes discussions of both the legal issues that hinder the efficient and sound enforcement of derivative claims, as well as suggestions for reform, supported and underpinned by corporate governance theories.Derivative Actions and Corporate Governance in China will be a key resource for academics, practitioners, fund managers and postgraduate students in the fields of Asian law and corporate law and governance.

This thought-provoking book examines whether regional centres associated with global legal institutions facilitate expanded citizen engagement in global soft law making. Through an analysis of empirical research into the role of decentralized soft law making in the East Asian region, it investigates the influence of such regional centres in overcoming representational deficits in the design of cross-border dispute settlement norms.Shahla F. Ali analyses survey data, in-depth case studies and UNCITRAL participation records to provide a comprehensive view of the contributions of Asia Pacific states in the development and refinement of UNCITRAL dispute settlement instruments. She argues that this has corresponded with the emergence of a new form of decentralized transnational legal ordering, advancing representation and legal innovation at both regional and global levels. The book concludes that these findings support the expansion of regional centres in areas with historically limited representation in global law making.Students, scholars and practitioners of transnational dispute resolution and comparative law will find this book to be critical reading. Its identification of best practices and law and policy recommendations will also be of interest to those working in global legislative design and policy.

Presenting detailed analysis of the industrialization and commercialization of pharmaceutical patents in China, this timely book explores a range of related topics including a comparison of the ideal and existing state of the pharmaceutical market and patent industrialization. It argues that the core purpose of the industrialization of pharmaceutical patents is to promote the development of the local pharmaceutical industry whist also protecting society's right to safe and effective medication.Chapters examine the special application issues of patent law in relation to the field of pharmaceuticals, compare the Chinese and American legal systems and their approach to pharmaceutical patents, and provide in depth political and legal analysis of the industry. James Hou suggests methods by which the Chinese legal system can seek to improve its governance of pharmaceutical patents and balance the conflicts of interest arising between new drug developers, established drug manufacturers and the end users.Featuring comprehensive coverage of patents in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, this book will be a key resource for scholars and students of commercial, pharmaceutical and intellectual property law, whilst also being of interest to industry talents discovering the potential of their own innovations.

This thought-provoking book combines analysis of international commercial and investment treaty arbitration to examine how they have been framed by the twin tensions of “in/formalisation” and “glocalisation”. Taking a comparative approach, the book focuses on Australia and Japan in their attempts to become regional hubs for international arbitration and dispute resolution services in the increasingly influential Asia-Pacific context as well as a global context.Interweaving historical, empirical and doctrinal research from over two decades of work in the field, Luke Nottage provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the shifting state of arbitration over this period. Chapters incorporate empirical findings on topics such as case disposition times for arbitration-related court proceedings, media coverage of arbitration and Arb-Med patterns in Japanese arbitrations. The book also makes normative arguments for more concerted bilateral and regional efforts to maintain global approaches and to encourage renewed informalisation in international arbitration.This book will be an invaluable read for both scholars and practitioners of international commercial arbitration and dispute resolution, particularly those in or involved with the Asia-Pacific region. Government policy-makers and investment treaty negotiators will also find its insights useful.

This insightful book examines the impact of two competing visions of Asian-Pacific economic growth paths and development governance. It discusses law, development and finance in the context of the Indo-Pacific Strategy versus the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), whilst also comparing parallel development financing systems.Jin Sheng reflects on and connects a series of issues of global significance, such as the economic Cold War, global debt, industrialisation and development in the developing world, and the changing international economic order. In so doing the author posits that the BRI’s ultimate objective is to export China’s development model, which is characterised by a focus on exports, experimentalism, and oversupply of currency. The book also critically examines China’s ambition to dominate the international economic order and set up its own favoured international rules.Alternative Development Finance and Parallel Development Strategies in the Asia-Pacific will be an important read for researchers and policy makers in the fields of law, development and finance in the Asia-Pacific region.

This book analyzes recent developments and likely future paths for trade and financial integration in East Asia. It suggests a more coherent, balanced way forward for regional economic integration and analyses implications for institution building in East Asia. East Asia has achieved a high degree of intra-regional trade, investment and GDP correlation, through an expanding web of free trade agreements and production networks. However, financially, most regional economies are linked more closely to North America and Europe than to each other. As trade integration has accelerated, financial and monetary integration has not kept pace. East Asian Economic Integration analyzes potential reasons and remedies for this phenomenon through a multidisciplinary framework of law, politics and economics. This comprehensive book will appeal to researchers and students in political science, international relations, trade law, international finance law, and regional studies generally. It will also be of great interest to regional policy makers. Contributors include: H. Gao, P. Lejot, C.L. Lim, B. Mercurio, M. Mushkat, R. Mushkat, J. Nakagawa, C.-Y. Park, I. Sohn, L. Toohey, N. Vu, T.H. Yen
