Also available as an e-book Private international law (PIL) problems have existed for centuries when people from various territories and religious and social groups engaged in mutual contacts. Some of the core issues of this discipline have been critically reviewed during the so-called conflicts revolution which took place during the twentieth century in the American academic literature and court practice. However it seems that not much discussion on methodologies of PIL has developed since then. This book, inspired by the Law and Economics approach, introduces the concept of efficiency into PIL, aiming to show new dimensions of traditionally important issues. First, this author challenges the traditional understanding that uniform law is always more desirable than PIL, and raises questions on the rationale and possibility of the unification of PIL. Second, territoriality has been understood to exclude PIL. This book clarifies why such understanding does not hold in the twenty-first century especially in the field of intellectual property, and argues that a one-sizefits-all model would not be appropriate in the context of cross-border insolvency

Das Justizministerium Japans hat dem japanischen Parlament am 2. März 2010 den Entwurf eines Gesetzes zur Regelung der internationalen Zuständigkeit übermittelt. Eine englische Übersetzung des Entwurfes findet sich im Anhang 1 zu diesem Beitrag. Der Entwurf soll das Zivilprozessgesetz und das Zivilsicherungsgesetz ergänzen. Der Beitrag stellt einige der charakteristischen Vorschriften des Entwurfes vor, dessen Verfasser augenscheinlich besonderes Gewicht auf flexible Regelungen gelegt haben. Um den Hintergrund der Reform zu illustrieren, gibt der Verfasser zu Beginn einen kurzen Überblick über die einschlägige Rechtsprechung der japanischen Gerichte in den vergangenen 40 Jahren.Dem Entwurf des Justizministeriums gingen der Entwurf einer Arbeitsgruppe, veröffentlicht im Juni 2008, und der Zwischenentwurf des Gesetzgebungsausschusses, veröffentlicht im Juli 2009, voraus. Da der vom Justizministerium im Februar 2010 angenommene Entwurf hinsichtlich seiner einzelnen Bestimmungen das Ergebnis einer Auswahl zwischen verschiedenen Regulierungsalternativen ist, die auch die Entscheidung einschließt, bezüglich bestimmter Fragen auf eine explizite Regelung zu verzichten, dürfte es hilfreich sein, die Genese der einzelnen Vorschriften anhand der beiden Vorentwürfe zu verfolgen. Zu diesem Zweck findet sich im Anhang 2 eine tabellarische Gegenüberstellung aller drei Entwürfe.(die Red.) ; The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) submitted a draft for a new legislation on international jurisdiction to the Diet of Japan on 2 March 2010. An English translation of the draft is presented as Appendix 1. The draft is scheduled to amend the Code of Civil Procedure and the Civil Provisional Remedies Act. This article highlights a few of the draft's characteristic provisions. Flexibility seems to have been the main priority of its drafters. To illustrate the background of the reform the article starts with briefly summarizing the case law on international jurisdiction that Japanese courts have developed during the last 40 years.The MOJ Draft of 2010 was preceded by a Working Group Draft published in June 2008 and an interim draft of the Drafting Committee published in July 2009. The MOJ Draft adopted in February 2010 is the result of a selection from several choices for each provision, which also included the choice not to create any black-letter rules on certain issues. Therefore it is important and useful to trace the development of each provision in the preparation process by knowing what options the Working Group Draft had proposed and what was taken in the MOJ Draft. Appendix 2 offers a comparative overview of three Drafts in form of a chart.(The Editors)

Introduction -- Questioning the Adaptability of Global Governance in the Safeguarding of Cultural Heritage in Post-Trauma Situations -- Governance Challenges in Nepal After the Kathmandu Earthquake, in Light of the World Heritage Convention -- Introduction -- Japanese Approach and Practice for Cultural Heritage in Post-Disaster Situations. .

This volume is based on presentations delivered at a symposium held in May 2015 at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg. It seeks to reinvigorate the scholarly exchange which can be traced back to the late 19th century between company law academics in Germany, China, Japan and South Korea. Contributions from all four jurisdictions include papers on directors' liability and capital maintenance as well as studies of the role of shareholders in public companies and the regulation of groups of companies.
