    Asian Discourses of Rule of Law: Theories and Implementation of Rule of Law in Twelve Asian Countries, France and the U.S

    ASIAN DISCOURSES OF RULE OF LAW Rule of law is one of the pillars of the modern world, and widely considered necessary for sustained economic development, the implementation of democracy and the protection of human rights. It has, however, emerged in Western liberal democracies, and some people question how far it is likely to take root fully in the different cultural, economic and political context of Asia. This book considers how rule of law is viewed and implemented in Asia. Chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark on how the concept has evolved, is applied and is implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by 12 chapters on the major countries of East Asia, and India, which consider all the key aspects of this important issue. Randall Peerenboom is a Professor of Law at UCLA Law School. He obtained a B.A. in Philosophy, M.A. in Chinese Religion and Ph.D. in Philosophy before obtaining a J.D. from Columbia Law School. He has written extensively on Chinese law and philosophy, including China’s Long March toward Rule of Law (2002). From 1994 to 1998, he practiced law with a major international law firm in Beijing. In addition to advising on various aspects of foreign investment in China, he often serves as an expert witness on PRC legal issues and is Of Counsel at Yiwen Law Firm.

    Memories of Professor Alice Ehr-Soon Tay Interview with the Honourable Michael Kirby 14 March 2015

    2781 MEMORIES OF PROFESSOR ALICE EHR-SOON TAY INTERVIEW WITH THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL KIRBY 14 MARCH 2015 MEMORIES OF PROFESSOR ALICE EHR-SOON TAY INTERVIEW WITH THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL KIRBY 14 March 2015 I thought we would work chronologically and begin with your first impressions of Alice Tay. Did you meet her for the first time when she examined your thesis? Yes, I had not met her before she became my examiner. That is an unusual and disadvantageous situation in which to meet another human being. However she was very feisty, energetic, dynamic and her questions were spot on the issues that I had been writing about. She was, I would say, a dominant personality and I had an immediate respect for her and I should admit a little bit of fear. Oh right. Was it the feistiness that caused the fear? It was a couple of factors. First of all, remember that we are talking about 1967 or thereabouts. At that time feisty women were thin on the ground in the law. It was a very unusual experience for me to be interrogated in such an assertive, confident, upfront and dynamic way by a then still quite young person who was a woman. Secondly, the times were still in the midst of White Australia. So not only did I have to grapple in my psyche with the fact that my interrogator was a woman. She was an Asian woman. She was not in the least lacking in confidence because of that. On the 2 contrary she was assertive and obviously in charge of the examination.

The Series is designed to include publications under the auspices of the Commission which have the status of a major research project and which, in the view of the Commission, are likely to form a continuing source of reference. It is intended that the Commission Monographs will cover a wide range of topics reflecting the Commission's interests and will contribute to better understanding and acceptance of human rights in Australia. At present there is no comprehensive survey of human rights literature which has an Australian focus.
