Competition law is a significant legal transplant in East Asia, where it has come into contact with deeply rooted variants of Confucian culture. This timely volume analyses cultural factors in mainland China, Japan and Korea, focusing on their shared but diversely evolved Confucian heritage. These factors distinguish the competition law systems of these countries from those of major western jurisdictions, in terms of the goals served by the law, the way enforcement is structured, and the way subjects of the law respond to it. Concepts from cultural studies inform a new and eclectic perspective on these dynamics, with the authors also drawing on ideas from law and economics, comparative law, East Asian studies, political science, business management and ethics, and institutional economics. The volume presents a model for cultural analysis of comparative legal topics and contributes to a greater understanding of the challenges to deeper convergence of competition laws between East and West.

'This is an exemplary piece of social research that illuminates an important feature of international competition law and business arbitration. As well, it stands a model for all those who want to undertake comparative research on law and legal culture. It should have a wide readership far beyond those interested in Asian-pacific business law and practices.' Malcolm M. Feeley, Claire Sanders Clements Dean's Professor of Law, Emeritus; Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, School of Law, UC Berkeley
