This book fills a gap in the literature by presenting a
comprehensive overview of the key issues relating to law and
development in Asia. Over recent decades, experts in law and
development have produced multiple theories on law and development,
none of which were derived from close study of Asian countries, and
none of which fit very well with the existing evidence of how law
actually functioned in these countries during periods of rapid
economic development. The book discusses the different models of
law and development, including both the developmental state model
of the 1960s and the neo-liberal model of the 1980s, and shows how
development has worked out in practice in relation to these models
in a range of Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, China,
Thailand, Singapore, India and Mongolia. Particular themes examined
include constitutionalism, judicial and legal reform; labour law;
the growing importance of private rights; foreign investment and
the international law of development. Reflecting the complexity of
Asian law and society, both those who believe in an "Asian Way"
which is radically different from law and development in other
parts of the world, as well as those who believe the arc of law and
development is essentially universal, will find support in this
book.
