As Asian societies play increasingly significant roles in the political economy of the world, it becomes crucially important to understand their laws and values in historical context. In fact, many of the longest-lived and most intricate legal traditions come from Asia. This series offers studies of historic legal systems, texts, jurisprudence, legal practices and everyday experiences of law from this complex and diverse region. Volumes encompass both formal laws and broader legal practices. The editors particularly encourage work that analyses laws in their social and political contexts, as well as scholarship that assesses Asian laws comparatively. The authors bring multiple perspectives to these subjects, and the series offers resources for regional specialists, legal and other historians, and comparative lawyers, whose fields of scholarship are being enriched by the broadening interest in historic Asia. The series welcomes the submission of standard monographs and edited volumes (80.000 - 120.000 words). Exceptions to this wordcount can be discussed with the Publisher. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit enquiries and proposals to the series editors, Kentaro Matsubara and Fernanda Pirie, or the Publisher at Brill, Alessandra Giliberto.
