Outline of Annual Research Achievements

While the current trend of comparative law turns to the relationships among nationalism, colonialism and family law, the experience of East Asian family laws remains little known in English-speaking academia. Mainly based on both long-standing and newly-discovered archival materials in Taiwan (including Japanese colonial period) and late-Qing/Republican China, the project elucidates how Chinese family traditions and customs were selected, reshaped and re-incorporated into people’s daily lives since the late 19th century to World War II, under either the colonial or nationalist regimes. The first year is devoted to archival study and fieldwork in Taiwan. The reacher analyzes archives and relevant literatures situated in traditional Chinese law regime as well as in the modern regime.
