Taiwan�s modern legal system–quite different from those of both traditional China and the People�s Republic–has evolved since the advent of Japanese rule in 1895. Japan has gradually adopted Western law during the 19th-century and when it occupied Taiwan–a frontier society composed of Han Chinese settlers–its codes were instituted for the purpose of rapidly assimilating the Taiwanese people into Japanese society.Tay-sheng Wang�s comprehensive study lays a solid foundation for future analyses of Taiwanese law. It documents how Western traditions influenced the formation of Taiwan�s modern legal structure through the conduit of Japanese colonial rule and demonstrates the extent to which legal concepts diverged from the Chinese legal tradition and moved toward Western law.
