Description

This is the leading reference on Taiwan's private international law in English.

The chapters systematically cover the whole of Taiwan's private international law, including designated chapters on the law of obligations, property, family law, corporations and insolvency, together with separate chapters on international commercial arbitration and investment treaty arbitration.

Taiwan has a hybrid civil law system with origins in Japanese and German laws, as well as increasing influences from common law jurisdictions and international law. Its unique status and prominence in international trade and investment provide unique opportunities for aligning with, and contributing to, regional and international harmonisation of private international law. Through a combination of civil and common law approaches and perspectives, the book provides a balanced and nuanced presentation of Taiwan's private international law that will appeal to practitioners and scholars worldwide.
