The Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the world's largest and most dynamic economies. Despite its remarkable diversity of legal traditions and socio-economic contexts, a collaborative region-wide conversation makes it possible to move our understanding of the law beyond isolated national case studies. This first volume in the Asia-Pacific Contract Law series explores how contract law doctrines across the region are being challenged and reshaped by the digital world. It discusses the laws of 12 jurisdictions, namely: Australia, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Macao, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as a private international law perspective.
