Book Description
This book surveys the treaty practice of Asian States. It undertakes a study of nine prominent Asian States, namely Bangladesh, India, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and The Philippines. One chapter each deals with the treaty practice of these States by reflecting on the theoretical foundations of treaty practice at the domestic level, including a query whether the State follows the theory of monism or dualism or a mix of these two; the relationship between treaties and the Constitution; the relationship between treaties and legislation; and the relationship between treaties and domestic customary law, if any. The chapters also review the participation of the respective States in the drafting of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT); position on and reservations to the VCLT; and reference of the VCLT in the treaties concluded by the States. Other aspects covered in chapters include constitutional provisions relating to treaties; domestic law, if any (for example, Nepal has a legislation on treaties); ratification process and practice; judicial practice, covering case law at the domestic level; the position of the State on the interpretation of treaties; and mechanism for the implementation of treaties at the domestic level, if any. The chapters identify leading cases, if any, relating to treaties to which the State was a party before international courts/tribunals. It deals with treaty compliance issues, including response to alleged violations of treaties; termination of treaties, if any; response to termination, if any; and participation in treaty bodies. It provides a panorama of treaties, to which the State is a party, as well as the most conspicuous treaties to which the State is not a party and the reasons thereof. The concluding chapter contains some general observations on Asian treaty practice.

Book Description
Legal transplantation and reform in the name of globalisation is central to the transformation of Asian legal systems. The contributions to "Examining Practice, Interrogating Theory: Comparative Legal Studies in Asia" analyse particular legal changes in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The contributions also concurrently critically analyse the utility of scholarly developments in comparative legal studies, particularly discourse analysis; regulatory theory; legal pluralism; and socio-legal approaches, in the study of Asian legal systems. While these approaches are regularly invoked in the study of transforming European legal systems, the debate of their relevance and explanatory capacity beyond the European context is recent. By bringing together these diverse analytical tools and enabling a comparison of their insights through Asian empirical case studies, this book makes an invaluable contribution to the debates concerning legal change and the methods by which it is analysed globally, and within Asia.

Book Description
Human Rights in Asia considers how human rights are viewed and implemented in Asia. It covers not just civil and political rights, but also social, economic and cultural rights. This study discusses the problems arising from the fact that ideas of human rights have evolved in Western liberal democracies and examines how far such values are compatible with Asian values and applicable in Asian contexts. Core chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark on how human rights have emerged and how they are applied and implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by twelve chapters on the major countries of East Asia plus India, each of which follows a common template to consider the context of the legal system in each country, black letter law, legal discussions and debates and key current issues concerning human rights in each jurisdiction.

Book Description
Now in its second edition, this textbook presents a critical rethinking of the study of comparative law and legal theory in a globalising world, and proposes an alternative model. It highlights the inadequacies of current Western theoretical approaches in comparative law, international law, legal theory and jurisprudence, especially for studying Asian and African laws, arguing that they are too parochial and eurocentric to meet global challenges. Menski argues for combining modern natural law theories with positivist and socio-legal traditions, building an interactive, triangular concept of legal pluralism. Advocated as the fourth major approach to legal theory, this model is applied in analysing the historical and conceptual development of Hindu law, Muslim law, African laws and Chinese law.
