Description

This book discusses private international law rules relevant to environmental disputes in Asia that involve corporations, surveys 12 Asian jurisdictions, and proposes areas for reform.

The volume is split into two sections. The first of these is dedicated to framing and discussing specific issues, such as the liability of corporations, directors and investors for environmental wrongdoing, or the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements and awards on environmental disputes – and how domestic rules may affect private international law. The second section outlines the rules of select Asian jurisdictions that are relevant to environmental disputes involving corporations, and suggests areas for reform. Jurisdictions covered include China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Jurisdiction-specific chapters outline the private international law rules of select Asian jurisdictions that are relevant to environmental disputes involving corporations, and suggest areas for reform. Jurisdictions include: Indonesia; Thailand; Singapore; Malaysia; Philippines; Vietnam; China; Hong Kong; Taiwan; India; Japan and South Korea.
