Vor dem Hintergrund einer langanhaltenden wirtschaftlichen Krise hat der japanische Gesetzgeber im Jahre 2000 neue Regeln für die Spaltung von Kapitalgesellschaften geschaffen. Die an europäischen Vorbildern orientierte Reform ermöglicht es japanischen Unternehmen, ihre Struktur künftig flexibler an die Erfordernisse des verschärften globalen Wettbewerbs anzupassen. Moritz Bältz unterzieht das neue japanische Spaltungsrecht einer umfassenden rechtsvergleichenden Analyse. (Quelle: Umschlagtext des Verlages).

Formal law versus informal justice - these are two frequently invoked labels to highlight the distinction between court-based and 'alternative' dispute resolution (ADR). Indeed, it appears to be all but a truism to assume that ADR has developed as a more flexible and creative alternative to rigid and formalised judicial proceedings. In this book, scholars from four continents examine both historical and recent developments that cast doubt on the validity of these widespread assumptions. They not only explore trends towards an increased formalisation of ADR procedures but also address the tendencies of state civil justice systems to adopt flexible and informal tools for the resolution of disputes in the courts.

This book explores financial stability issues in the context of East Asia. In the East Asian region financial stability has been a major concern ever since the Asian crisis of 1997/98, which still looms large in the collective memory of the affected countries. The global crisis, which had its starting point in 2007, only served to exacerbate this concern. Safeguarding financial stability is therefore a major goal of any country in the region. Diverging cultural, political and economic backgrounds may however pose different stability challenges and necessary cooperation may be complicated by this diversity. Against this backdrop the contributions of this book by leading academics from the fields of economics and law as well as by practitioners from central banks shed light on various financial stability issues. The volume explores the legal environment of central banks as lenders of last resort and analyzes challenges to financial stability such as shadow banking and the choice of exchange rate regimes. Case studies from China, Japan and Indonesia are contrasted with experiences from Europe.
