Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study purported to identify the legal as well as socio-economic changes as the of international donors' legal assistance to the Asian countries in the process of socialist market reform since the late 1980s, with a focus on economic law. The major findings include the tendency of recipient countries in responding to the pressure of "legal transplant" by international development agencies by simply introducing the required legislations, mostly based on the investor-friendly legal model imposed by such donors, without making sufficient efforts to improve the legal basis such as procedural rules and administrative guidelines, while the accumulation of case law to clarify the legal provisions is rarely expected, but the increase of legal basis for administrative intervention is observed within the logic of environmental & social considerations. Increase of social disputes is obvious as the investment promoted, implying the failure of legal system to bring about remedies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究は、1970年代以降の米国批判法学による「法と開発」研究が提起した法整備支援の問題性を、1990年代以降のいわゆる「第二次法と開発運動」が克服できているかを問う国際的な研究潮流に連なり、対象諸国の法制改革の実定的内容に立ち入った比較法的分析、およびその社会的経済的な影響評価について開発経済学との連携を行う点に学術的な新規性がある。本研究の成果はまた、日本ODAをはじめとする国際的ドナーの法整備支援に対する改善提言として発信し、該当国の法の自立性の強化と社会紛争に縮減に資する社会的意義がある。
