Launch of 'Handbook of Asian Financial Law'

Please join us to celebrate the launch of the Research Handbook on Asian Financial Law (Edward Elgar, 2020). The book will be launched by Professor Ross Buckley, KPMG Law – King & Wood Mallesons Professor of Disruptive Innovation, and a Scientia Professor, at UNSW Sydney. A panel discussion between some of the editors and contributors will then take place, followed by drinks and canapés.

The recent decisions of the National Democratic Alliance government led by Narendra Modi to unilaterally end the special constitutional status of the only Muslim-majority state Jammu and Kashmir and passage of controversial citizenship law that discriminates Muslims, leading to country wide protests, have made political observers worry about future of world’s largest democracy. With the main political opposition in completely disarray and media and civil society under vicious attacks, India’s democracy is gradually choking. Can this alarming trend of decline (very well captured by The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index) be stemmed?

The Book Launch is hosted by the Global Economic Law Network, the Centre for Corporate Law, the Asian Law Centre and the Transactional Law Group at Melbourne Law School.
