This book focuses on the legal systems of the late-developing
countries of ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, often
referred to as the CLMV countries). These nations are apt to be
placed in an economically disadvantageous situation within the
opportunity of communalization of legal systems being advanced by
the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) launched in 2015, and the book
clarifies the dynamics of the changes within these legal systems.
Concurrently, there is an intention to analyze the "legal system
development support" that has continued to be provided to these
countries since the mid-1990s via international development support
from international organizations and developed countries including
Japan. In particular, the emphasis has been on the area of civil
law, where the main subject of Japan's support has been centered on
the civil code and civil procedure code. The legal system of the
recipient country is complicated by the crisscrossing of the
remnants of previous eras, from the inherent laws that have existed
since before colonization, the laws of the colonial powers that
were introduced during the colonial era (French law in Cambodia,
Laos, and Vietnam; English law in Myanmar), the influence of
socialist law after independence from colonization, and the path of
modern industrialization and development, such that one country's
legal system is the combination of all of these influences. For the
reader to understand the dynamics of these changing laws, each
chapter of the book combines two methodological perspectives. The
first is to ascertain the spatial range as to how far the civil law
extends across social phenomena. The second is a historical
perspective in which the trends in legal changes will be understood
on a time axis.
