商品描述

This book provides an innovative outlook of the various challenges of international law in the Asian region. Moving away from the Eurocentrism prevalent in the literature on the subject, it provides a comprehensive Asian perspective without adopting a monolithic or homogeneous Asian approach. Although Asian countries converge on certain issues related to international law, such as engagement with the United Nations, at times, there is a significant divergence, such as in the case of agricultural trade liberalisation. Given the vastness of the region and the differing political systems, there are many discrepancies to consider. The book takes into account the viewpoint of civil society so as to avoid a vertical state‐centred approach. Offering an easy-to-understand presentation of key issues concerning the region, this book is a useful introduction to this complex topic for students, academics and practitioners of international law.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了對亞洲地區國際法各種挑戰的創新觀點。擺脫了該主題文獻中普遍存在的歐洲中心主義,本書提供了一個全面的亞洲視角,而不採用單一或同質的亞洲方法。儘管亞洲國家在某些與國際法相關的議題上,如與聯合國的互動上有共識,但在某些情況下,卻存在顯著的分歧,例如在農業貿易自由化的問題上。考慮到該地區的廣闊及不同的政治體系,需考量許多差異。本書考慮了公民社會的觀點,以避免垂直的國家中心主義方法。該書以易於理解的方式呈現與該地區相關的關鍵議題,對於國際法的學生、學者和實務工作者來說,這是一本有用的入門書籍,幫助他們理解這一複雜的主題。
