Private International Law in East Asia - From Imitation to Innovation and Exportation

This open access book examines the conflict of law rules in East Asian states, with a focus on the laws in China and Japan but looking also at South Korea. Beyond a description of the substance of the current law, the book highlights the evolution these jurisdictions have undergone since being adopters of rules developed in European and North American legal systems. As evidenced by recent modernisations in their private law regimes, East Asian states are now innovators, creating rules that are more suited to the local concerns. Significantly, the new approaches to private international law taken by China and Japan are themselves being adopted by other jurisdictions, shifting the locus of influence in this important area of law. The chapters in parts one and two give a contextual overview of the legal regimes of China, Japan, and South Korea and a more in-depth view of the rules on private international law. This will foster a deeper understanding of how the systems are changing to better fit the particular national approaches to law. Part three provides a detailed look at the conflict rules relevant to commercial law, specifically as regards international jurisdiction of courts, while Part four examines the rules applying to family law and succession law. Written in an easily accessible style, the book is a valuable resource for scholars as well as practitioners of East Asian law, private international law, and comparative law.
