To guide students of the comparisons and distinctions with respect to international arbitration theory and practice in major arbitration jurisdictions in the Greater China region.

The course will introduce students to the arbitration systems in the Greater China region – Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan – covering their major distinctions and comparisons in the arbitration theory and practice, as well as rules and practices by leading arbitration institutions in the region, i.e. CIETAC, BAC and SCIA in Mainland China; HKIAC in Hong Kong; and CAA in Taiwan.
There is indeed a sufficient need for information on arbitration in the Greater China region, particularly in respect of the growing economic importance of the region, and the increasingly tighter economic relations among each jurisdiction in the region.
The fact of tighter economic ties among Greater China jurisdictions however does not follow that arbitration regulations and practices within the region are similar. The different histories of arbitration, and different legal traditions among these Greater China jurisdictions have all contributed to the very distinctive way of each of the arbitration system, which makes the teaching of this course all the more interesting, especially from a comparative point of view.
