This is a wonderful collection of essays. The present volume
contains rich articles and conveys creative and substantive ideas
and information on the internationalization of law and legal
education and legal practice. A timely book which will serve
academics, legal professionals and policy and law makers alike in
their search to keep legal education and the legal professions up
to date to international and transnational legal and societal
developments.' - Aalt Willem Heringa, Maastricht University, The
Netherlands'Professors Hiscock and van Caenegem have drawn together
an impressive group of international experts in legal education to
take the reader on a fascinating journey. It ranges from the
historical origins of different families of law, through the
development of the institutions that support increasing connection
across borders to anticipation of where the practice of law is
heading, driven by the forces of global interconnectedness. This
volume will help shape the internationalisation of legal
education.' - Duncan Bentley, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Victoria
University, Australia 'This is a fascinating collection of essays
on how the world of legal education is responding to the
globalisation challenge. It deserves a place on the shelf of every
legal academic and practitioner with a serious interest in legal
education. The utility of the book is enhanced by the fact that it
is written from a variety of different and critical perspectives.
It comes highly recommended.' - Gerard McCormack, School of Law,
University of Leeds, UK For graduate lawyers to succeed in a global
environment, legal education in every system must undergo
revolutionary change. Professors van Caenegem and Hiscock explore
in detail the new initiatives that are emerging as a response to
this development and the reaction from the profession to these
changes. Divided into five sections, the expert contributors of
this book provide different perspectives on legal education in an
ever-growing industry: - Dealing with the different national
philosophies of legal education - Ignoring the civil law and common
law divide - a brave new world - Evolving initiatives in legal
education for global practice - International practice - attorneys'
insights - Litigation and arbitration - international advocacy
across borders This book will be useful to scholars and
practitioners alike who are charged with teaching law students and
preparing them for the demands of practice. Contributors: J.

Given its geographical proximity to Asia and its close alliance
with the West, Australia, amid the rise of Asian economies, needs
to re-formulate its policies on trade, investment and security.
Over the years, in making decisions on issues relating to trade,
investment and security, the Australian government has often
resorted to the notion of 'national interest'. This book attempts
to analyse 'national interest' from the perspectives of economics,
finance, international trade, foreign direct investment,
international relations, energy resources, and migration in the
context of Australia in the Asian century.Currently, there are no
multidisciplinary books on the Australian 'national interest'. This
book fills the gap with a broad and integrated approach in
examining the subject. Academics, researchers, and students of
various disciplines (such as economics, finance, international
relations, international trade, foreign direct investment and Asian
studies), policy advisors, government agencies, financial
institutions, and trade law practitioners from around the world
will find this book useful and stimulating.
This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of
globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that
have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of
globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the
human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many
areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the
work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the
contributors with him. This book does not attempt to provide
answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book
discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive
from and are connected to the authors’ own research. The thematic
diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad
range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a
legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy
areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from
insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment
of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone
in this book. As a tribute to the life’s work of an
outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book
explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of
globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues
highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is
divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact
of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First
Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and
technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In
part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law
landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The
final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of
the editors.Â
This book explores current developments in transnational commercial
and consumer law. It features essays written by leading experts,
many of who have taken part in the negotiation and formulation of
the international instruments they discuss here. The contributors
look at issues arising from the profound changes that globalization
is having on the legal norms governing commercial and consumer
transactions, both domestic and transnational. They consider how
relations between private actors, state regulators, and national
courts are being completely reconfigured. This, in turn, generates
pressures for legal harmonization and creates opportunities for new
national and transnational legal norms and procedures to develop.
The contributions address both the dynamics and the substance of
these developments. Topics included are the UNCITRAL Model Law on
secured transactions and on cross-border insolvency, the ICC
Uniform Customs and Practices of Documentary Credits (UCP 600), and
the dispute resolution mechanism and practices of the World Trade
Organization. The content was formerly presented as papers at the
18th Biennial Meeting of the International Academy of Commercial
and Consumer Law (the International Academy) at Kyushu University,
Japan. Overall, this book provides readers with a solid theoretical
foundation and strong familiarity with the practice of law and
international commerce, offering realistic and practical
conclusions.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Vai Io Lo and Mary Hiscock,
together with scholars and researchers from around the world,
investigate the rise of the BRICS and assess the extent of their
further development and influence from the perspectives of
economics, international relations and law.Brazil, Russia, India,
and China are expected to become the world s most influential
economies, surpassing the current richest economies, by the middle
of the 21st century. With the inclusion of South Africa in 2010,
the BRICS span across four continents, creating an abundance of
geopolitical clout, in addition to their potential economic
dominance. This book examines the economic developments of
individual BRICS countries, the current politico-economic condition
of the BRICS vis-a-vis non-BRICS countries or groups, and the
potential of the BRICS to bring about changing paradigms in the
global political economy. This book is an essential resource for
academics, researchers and students who are interested in the rise,
development and impact of the BRICS economies. It will also be of
interest to economists, political scientists, and specialists in
international trade and investment. Contributors include: M. Ariff,
R. Arora, L. Boulle, J. Chella, M. Conley Tyler, R. Dos Santos, J.

`This stimulating volume of essays seamlessly integrates
theoretical and practical perspectives to wrestle with fundamental
issues of law and legal education in the 21st century. Using an
integrated framework, the editors demonstrate that the challenges
raised by internationalization can no longer be left to a small
group of comparative and international lawyers, but rather require
fundamental engagement from everyone in the law. Highly
recommended.' - Thomas Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School,
US `This is a rich and fascinating collection of essays on the
internationalisation of law. It offers an important exploration of
what lies ahead in making law, resolving disputes and researching
and teaching law in an increasingly globalising world. Academics
and practitioners all over the world will find this book immensely
useful.' - Jan M. Smits, Tilburg University, The Netherlands `This
fascinating collection of essays marks the 20th anniversary of Bond
Law School in Australia. The essays deal with the
internationalisation of law in all its dimensions, whether it be in
law teaching, legal research, legislation or attitudes to risk and
regulation which is particularly pertinent in view of the global
financial crisis. The breadth of coverage of the book increases its
appeal to scholars and policy makers from a range of
sub-disciplinary perspectives. It deserves to be read widely and is
an extremely valuable addition to any practitioner or academic
library.' - Gerard McCormack, University of Leeds, UK This
insightful book explores the acute challenges presented by the
`internationalisation' of law, a trend that has been accelerated by
the growing requirement for academics and practitioners to work and
research across countries and regions with differing legal
traditions. The authors have all confronted these challenges of
internationalisation through their extensive knowledge and
experience in civil law, common law and mixed jurisdictions around
the globe. Their analysis of the implications for researchers and
teachers, as well as practitioners, law-makers and reformers is
original and their different proposals for dealing with the
challenges are both practical and at times, radical. This book is a
must-read for those exposed to the internationalisation of law, be
they academics, cross border practitioners, judges, arbitrators, or
those engaged in legal reform and policy.
