Law and Legal Institutions of Asia
The study of Asia and its plural legal systems is of increasing significance, both within and outside Asia. Lawyers, whether in Australia, America or Europe, or working within an Asian jurisdiction, require a sound knowledge of how the law operates across this fast-growing and diverse region. Law and Legal Institutions of Asia is the first book to offer a comprehensive assessment of eleven key jurisdictions in Asia - China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore and the Philippines. Written by academics and practitioners with particular expertise in their state or territory, each chapter uses a breakthrough approach, facilitating cross-jurisdictional comparisons and giving essential insights into how law functions in different ways across the region and in each of the individual jurisdictions.
Pluralism, Transnationalism and Culture in Asian Law
“We owe much of our knowledge of legal diversity in Asia to the work of Barry Hooker, who appears early on to have appreciated its intrinsic interest and potentially global significance. His work in the field is, as the French say, incontournable; a nice combination of the unavoidable, the controlling and the greatly respected.” — H.P. Glenn span, SPAN { background-color:inherit; text-decoration:inherit; white-space:pre-wrap } To honour this great scholar, this book gathers essays from admirers and friends who add their own contributions on legal pluralism, transnationalism and culture in Asia. The book opens with an account of M.B. Hooker colourful and prolific career. The authors then approach legal pluralism through legal theory, legal anthropology, comparative law, law and religion, constitutional law, even Islamic art, thus reflecting the broad approaches of Professor Hooker’s scholarship. While most of the book focuses mainly on Southeast Asia, it also reaches out to all of Asia up to Israel, and even includes a chapter comparing Indonesia and Egypt.

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.
