Professor John Gillespie is Director of the Asia Pacific Business Regulation Group, Monash University
Randall Peerenboom is Professor of Law at La Trobe University, Director of the Oxford Foundation for Law, Justice and Society's Rule of Law in China Programme and Associate Fellow in the Oxford University Centre for Socio-Legal Studies
Unlike much analysis about regulation in Asia which focuses on globalisation and the transplant effect, leaving domestic influence over commercial regulation under-researched and under-theorized, this book focuses on how local actors influence regulatory change. It explores the complex economic and regulatory factors that generate social demand for state regulation and shows how local networks, courts, democratic processes and civil society have a huge influence on regulatory systems. It examines the particular circumstances in a wide range of Asian countries, provides transnational comparisons and comparisons with Western countries, and assesses how far local regulatory regimes increase economic value and convey competitive advantages.
