Outline of Final Research Achievements

Traditionally, Eastern Asian countries such as Japan, China, Taiwan or South Korea have independently developed their own criminal legal system under the influence of legal systems of Soviet Union, Germany or Japan. Economic criminal law has been one branch of it and legislation in this area has been mostly tackling concrete problems emerging newly. However, this study has clarified that in this field more and more common problems are emerging as economic activities are globalizing. In order to combat them, it is important for these countries to learn from each other their methods to solve them. This importance is not limited to concrete legislation but ranges over general principles of criminal law and sanctions systems in general, what indicates the necessity to continue analysis and proposal in the area.
