Routledge has published a book
dealing with the Taiwanese judicial reforms of 1999 and following years, and
which includes legal historical contributions.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book examines Taiwan’s
judicial reform process, which began three years after the 1996 transition to
democracy, in 1999, when Taiwanese legal and political leaders began discussing
how to reform Taiwan’s judicial system to meet the needs of the new social and
political conditions. Covering different areas of the law in a comprehensive
way, the book considers, for each legal area, problems related to rights and
democracy in that field, the debates over reform, how foreign systems inspired
reform proposals, the political process of change, and the substantive legal
changes that ultimately emerged. The book also sets Taiwan’s legal reforms in
their historical and comparative context, and discusses how the reform process
continues to evolve.

Neil Chisholm is a
Visiting Scholar at the Academy of East Asian Studies at Sungkyunkwan
