David Campbell, University of Durham, UK 'This book is essential reading for practitioners and scholars whose professional activities involve insolvency law or practice in East Asia. In particular, lawyers and accountants advising on transactions, business structures as well as actual or potentially insolvent situations will benefit significantly from this work. Not only does it analyse the respective legal principles and avenues for dealing with incidents of insolvency, but it is richly informed by the editor's long-standing interest in and research into the cultural aspects of insolvency administration in East Asian countries.' Peter Little, Queensland University of Technology, Australia 'Authored by experts in the field, Insolvency Law in East Asia is a ground-breaking work. It not only analyzes the legal rules and principles but also the contexts in which they have been evolved. It is a work which will be equally important for both practitioners and academics. Students will also find the wealth of information digested in this work instructive, interesting and easy to grasp. Congratulations to the authors.' D.K. Srivastava, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong '...this volume provides much material on matters of interest to readers, whether from the legal or academic perspective. There is a wealth of research material that would commend itself to academics and practitioners interested in comparative law and, in particular, those interested in charting the extent to which rescue is the watchword of global insolvency reforms.'
