Contents of Contracts and Unfair Terms
Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia provides an authoritative and current introduction to the contract laws of major Asian jurisdictions, and includes a bibliography of literature in the English language. The series will identify and discuss the current controversies and debates amongst the stakeholders of the subject jurisdictions, the likely direction of travel on these issues, as well as the values and policies which shape the development of the law in these areas. Furthermore, it will examine how European-sourced laws have acquired unique characteristics in the transplanted jurisdictions, and compare these with the emerging shape of European contract law and other international instruments. Each volume in the series will offer an insider's perspective into specific areas of contract law: remedies, formation, parties, contents, vitiating factors, change of circumstances, illegality, and public policy. It will explore how these diverse jurisdictions address common problems encountered in contractual disputes, and will offer a comparative assessment, horizontally as between the Asian jurisdictions, and vertically with source jurisdictions and international codes.

Finance, Rule of Law and Development in Asia
The financial markets of Hong Kong and Singapore are leading examples in Asian financial development and regulation. Shanghai, which is developing its Free Trade Pilot Zone, is equally aiming to incorporate a sophisticated service market in order to upgrade, reform and reinvigorate the current economic model of development in China in the aftermath of the global financial and economic crisis. Streamlining administrative regulation is a precondition for its financial market to find root and play a central role in Asia and beyond. Finance, Rule of Law and Development in Asia offers a contextualized approach to the economic and political realities within Asian financial markets, especially in these three different jurisdictions. The volume adopts a comparative and precise account on the prospects and challenges in further developing these financial centres.
The Changing Landscape of Global Financial Governance and the Role of Soft Law
The Changing Landscape of Global Financial Governance and the Role of Soft Law provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the changing landscape of global financial governance by exploring the impact and role of soft law, directly or as a precursor of hard law, pertaining to financial governance. Since the shaping of financial governance impacts national, regional and global levels of regulation, different views and arguments contribute to the ongoing discussions about financial regulation. Against this background, this book brings together perspectives of economists and lawyers who have not rallied to one or the other popular call for more regulation as a panacea for the prevention of future global financial crises, calls which have all but drowned out more nuanced scientific debates. Instead, their analysis of aspects of remedial regulatory policy prescriptions already made or proposed demonstrates that carefully designed soft law can be deployed as a valuable method or tool of mediation between the unrestrained autonomy of dysfunctional markets and overzealously crafted hard law.

The Role of Lawyers in Access to Justice
To a disturbing degree, we are at the mercy of our time and place. While law may provide relief for some of life's troubles, that requires access to justice. Accessibility is the focus of this volume, which expands analysis of access to justice beyond the US and the UK to Asia and other comparative jurisdictions. Chapters characterise access to justice dynamics in these jurisdictions by addressing how access is understood, how it is achieved or not achieved, and how the jurisdiction should improve. The book addresses some issues seldom addressed in analyses of western jurisdictions, such as paid mandatory legal services and mandatory public interest activities, and provides English translations of relevant regulations. The book expands our understanding of access to justice with a comparative perspective, one that allows readers to identify relationships between access and its constitutive environment.
