At the outset of the Nanjing decade (1928-1937), a small group of Chinese legal elites worked to codify the terms that would bring the institutions of marriage and family into the modern world. Their deliberations produced the Republican Civil Code of 1929-1930, the first Chinese law code endowed with the principle of individual rights and gender equality. In the decades that followed, hundreds of thousands of women and men adopted the new marriage laws and brought myriad domestic grievances before the courts.

This book examines Taiwan’s judicial reform process, which began three years after the 1996 transition to democracy, in 1999, when Taiwanese legal and political leaders began discussing how to reform Taiwan’s judicial system to meet the needs of the new social and political conditions. Covering different areas of the law in a comprehensive way, the book considers, for each legal area, problems related to rights and democracy in that field, the debates over reform, how foreign systems inspired reform proposals, the political process of change, and the substantive legal changes that ultimately emerged. The book also sets Taiwan’s legal reforms in their historical and comparative context, and discusses how the reform process continues to evolve.
Compiled by a leading scholar of Chinese poetry, Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown is the first collection of Chan (Zen) poems to be situated within Chan thought and practice. Combined with exquisite paintings by Charles Chu, the anthology compellingly captures the ideological and literary nuances of works that were composed, paradoxically, to "say more by saying less," and creates an unparalleled experience for readers of all backgrounds. Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown includes verse composed by monk-poets of the eighth to the seventeenth centuries. Their style ranges from the direct vernacular to the evocative and imagistic. Egan's faithful and elegant translations of poems by Han Shan,...
Wie geht eine Rechtsordnung mit Regelungen um, die aus fremden Rechtsraumen stammen? Beispiele fur solche Rechtsrezeptionen lassen sich in Ostasien zahlreich finden. Ausgehend von einer Klarung des Rezeptionsbegriffs untersucht Matthias Veicht die chinesische Rezeptionsgeschichte von 1900 bis heute. Dabei arbeitet er die mannigfaltigen auslandischen, u. a. die deutschen, schweizerischen und japanischen Einflusse auf das chinesische Zivilrecht heraus. Er unterteilt die Rezeption in mehrere Phasen, wobei er jeweils die politischen und kulturellen Ausgangsbedingungen, die Grunde und Folgen der Rezeption erortert. Den Abschluss bildet eine rechtsvergleichende Darstellung, die sich mit dem historischen, aber auch mit dem geltenden Vertrags- und Kaufrecht Deutschlands, Festlandchinas und Taiwans auseinandersetzt.
