Co-sponsored by the American Society of International Law‘s International Economic Law Interest Group, this public workshop, a regional IEL Interest Group event, brings together Japan and China specialists to assess the role of international law and regulatory change in shaping the continuing economic transformation of these two Asian countries.

In which areas, and to what degree, is their influence evident? What are the main causes and major consequences of their actions for the advance of the legal and regulatory framework in the Asian region as a whole? The discussants for this workshop will include two leading international trade law specialists from China and Japan. As one of the goals of this workshop is to begin to focus on Asia as part of a global legal community, the workshop themes will also be discussed by a leading international economic law specialist who can place the developments in the larger context of legal processes.
