The courts in Taiwan and South Korea have transformed from a traditional third-party arbiter to an active participant, a creative interpreter, or even a strategic institutional player in the process of dispute resolutions encompassing political, economic, civil, commercial and criminal cases. Time and again, the courts are called upon to resolve contentious disputes and tested their capacities as well as wisdoms. The findings in this book are of great value to the understanding of the operational foundation for courts in the context of transformation and global convergence.
The global expansion of judicial powers makes no exception to Asia. Most noticeable is the judicial expansion in tandem with unprecedented political and legal reforms that have occurred in the two Asian new democracies – Taiwan and South Korea. Having shared a great deal of similarities in colonial legacy, economic development and global competition, both Taiwan and South Korea became good examples of fast-growing economies with successful democratic transitions. In the context of transition, Courts in Taiwan and Korea are expected to independently resolve disputes to place checks and balances with political powers and safeguard individual rights and freedoms. This book looks into court’s function in constitutional, regulatory, civil, commercial, and criminal matters by making Taiwan and Korea in comparison.
Dr. Jiunn-rong Yeh is a leading scholar of Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Environmental Law in Taiwan.
