The relationship between law and finance is one of symbiosis. A successful financial centre depends on a strong legal framework for regulation and dispute resolution; a robust legal sector is in turn enhanced by a thriving financial services community. Beyond such abstractions, however, there are different paths to becoming a truly global financial centre. Within Asia, for example, Singapore s top-down instrumentalism and Hong Kong s laissez-faire approach offer distinct models. Finance, Rule of Law and Development in Asia brings together leading scholars from across the region to explain how and why these two key jurisdictions came to rival London and New York as financial centres. The contributors also discuss the rise of China, in particular Shanghai, as well as governance challenges posed by new financial products and ongoing battles against corruption. For anyone who wants to understand the past or future regulatory challenges facing Asia s financial markets, this is an essential reading. Prof. Dr. Simon Chesterman, Dean of the Faculty of Law of the National University of Singapore
