title = {Rezeption, Perzeption und Adaption: Erwartungen an die chinesische Rechtsmodernisierung 1904-1930},
year = {2014},
note = {Between the 1870ies and the outbreak of the Pacific war in 1937 Japan
and China undertook fundamental changes in their traditional legal
systems by way of legislation strongly following continental Europen
models. These changes were not based on the free choice of the
political elites of these countries, but were suggested and induced by
outside pressure. In this paper certain statements or commentaries of
participants in the modernization process as it took place in China
during the first third of the 20th century are presented in order to
exemplify how the motives of law reform were understood, how the legal
cultures involved were perceived, and how the problem of adaptation
was tackled.},
