Grounds of Judgment
Perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, the nineteenth century encounter between East Asia and the Western world has been narrated as a legal encounter. Commercial treaties--negotiated by diplomats and focused on trade--framed the relationships among Tokugawa-Meiji Japan, Qing China, Choson Korea, and Western countries including Britain, France, and the United States. These treaties created a new legal order, very different than the colonial relationships that the West forged with other parts of the globe, which developed in dialogue with local precedents, local understandings of power, and local institutions. They established the rules by which foreign sojourners worked in East Asia, ...
Dispute Resolution in the People’s Republic of China
Dispute resolution reforms in China in the last decade or so have all centred around the strategy of establishing an integrated dispute resolution system as part of China’s modern governance system. This new integrated system, referred to as the ‘Mechanism for Pluralist Dispute Resolution (PDR)’ in China, serves as a dispute resolution system as well as a comprehensive social control mechanism. This book is the first academic attempt to explain the methods of civil and commercial dispute resolution in China from the perspective of PDR. It systematically and critically examines the development of China’s dispute resolution system, with each chapter analysing in detail the development and transformation of the different institutions, mechanisms and processes in their historical, politico-economic and comparative context.
Popular Participation in Japanese Criminal Justice
This book analyses the mixed courts of professional and lay judges in the Japanese criminal justice system. It takes a particular focus on the highly public start of the mixed court, the saiban-in system, and the jury system between 1928-1943. This was the first time Japanese citizens participated as decision makers in criminal law. The book assesses reasons for the jury system's failure, and its suspension in 1943, as well as the renewed interest in popular involvement in criminal justice at the end of the twentieth century. Popular Participation in Japanese Criminal Justice proceeds by explaining the process by which lay participation in criminal trials left the periphery to become an impo...

清代法律的常规化：族群与等级
清代法律在演變過程中逐步減少基於等級和族群的差異，即法律的常規化。學界尤其是美國的「新清史」，將旗人換刑特權視作清代滿、漢不平等的重要證據。本書揭示歷史的另一面：旗人換刑特權是清廷廢除滿洲刑罰體制以適應漢人法律的產物，清代法律在變化中不斷削弱這種特權。晚清不同等級和不同族群的婦女犯奸后，在擬罪和執行刑罰上幾乎沒有區別。清代刑部嚴格區分刑事與民事案件，在審理民事案件時強調法律體現的民事原則，而非涉案者的等級或族群背景。 胡祥雨，1996年至2004年先后就讀於北京師范大學、北京大學和中山大學歷史系。2011年從美國明尼蘇達大學雙城校區（University of Minnesota, Twin Cities）歷史系畢業，獲博士學位。畢業后至今在中國人民大學清史研究所任講師，主要研究清代政治史與法制史。
Migration at the End of Empire
How has migration shaped Mediterranean history? And what role did conflicting temporalities and the politics of departure play in the age of decolonisation? Using a microhistorical approach, Migration at the End of Empire explores the experiences of over 55,000 Italian subjects in Egypt during the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Before 1937, Ottoman-era legal regimes fostered the coupling of nationalism and imperialism among Italians in Egypt, particularly as the fascist government sought to revive the myth of Mare Nostrum. With decolonisation, however, Italians began abandoning Egypt en masse. By 1960, over 40,000 had deserted Egypt; some as 'emigrants,' others as 'repatriates,'and still others as 'national refugees.' The departed community became an emblem around which political actors in post-colonial Italy and Egypt forged new ties. Anticipated, actual, and remembered departures of Italians from Egypt are at the heart of this book's ambition to rethink European and Mediterranean periodisation.
