The Asian Financial Crisis In Retrospect - Observations On Legal And Institutional Lessons Learned After A Dozen Years, John W. Head Apr 2010

The Asian Financial Crisis In Retrospect - Observations On Legal And Institutional Lessons Learned After A Dozen Years, John W. Head

East Asia Law Review

In this contribution to the Review symposium on the Asian Financial Crisis, Professor Head examines how, in retrospect, we should view that tumultuous set of developments and the lessons they offered. After tracing the causes and triggers that set the crisis in motion in 1997, and identifying what paths toward recovery the three countries hardest-hit - Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea - took over the years that followed, Head focuses on certain international legal and institutional aspects of the crisis. He gives particular attention to the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"), first by summarizing the "cacophony of criticisms" directed at the …


The Asian Financial Crisis And Warning Indicators - Then And Now, Dominick Salvatore, Fred Campano Apr 2010

The Asian Financial Crisis And Warning Indicators - Then And Now, Dominick Salvatore, Fred Campano

East Asia Law Review

This paper presents data on the financial crisis in East Asia that started in Thailand in July 1997 and then spread to other emerging Asian economies and the rest of the world, and the warning indicators that were used to predict that crisis.

Corporate Law In The Shaghai's People's Court, 1992-2008: Judicial Autonomy In A Conemporary Authoritatian State, Nicholas Calcina Howson Apr 2010

Corporate Law In The Shaghai's People's Court, 1992-2008: Judicial Autonomy In A Conemporary Authoritatian State, Nicholas Calcina Howson

East Asia Law Review

In late 2005 China adopted a largely rewritten Company Law that radically increased the role of courts. This study, based on a review of more than 1000 Company Law-related disputes reported between 1992 and 2008 and extensive interactions with PRC officials and sitting judges, evaluates how the Shanghai People's Court system has fared over 15 years in corporate law adjudication. Although the Shanghai People's Courts show generally increasing technical competence and even intimations of political independence, their path toward institutional autonomy is inconsistent. Through 2006, the Shanghai Court system demonstrated significantly increased autonomy. After 2006 and enactment of the new …
