In comparing existing research on Eastern and Central Europe,
Central Asia and Latin America, it is clear that legal developments
in East and South Asian societies are somewhat under-researched.
This volume fills a gap in studies of the effects of globalisation
and the role of law in processes of globalisation. What the book
contributes to the debate is an "area study", that is
interdisciplinary research pertaining to a particular geographical
or cultural region. The region discussed here presents an ideal
testing ground for legal pluralism, for economic, cultural, and
political influences on the role of law in development. The
'developmental states' of Asia are regarded as refuting both Latin
American dependency theory and classical modernisation theory. They
seem to follow quite distinct political, economic and legal
developments. However, especially after the Asian Crisis, their
approaches have come under intense pressure. The book examines the
resulting reform efforts and the tensions they generate in areas
such as constitutional and administrative law, commercial law and
human rights.
