1. Introduction

This bibliography mainly focuses on International Economic Law from a Public International Law

perspective. It is concerned with International Economic Law as it affects NEA (viz., China, Korea and Japan). In particular, it is concerned with how International Economic Law is perceived and received in NEA. And more specifically, it is concerned with world trade law; International Investment Law; International Monetary and Financial Law; and finally, International Tax Law, as these disciplines relate to NEA. The sources referred to herein are mostly secondary sources. They do not purport to be exhaustive or indeed complete and comprise of selected works chosen by different researchers herein in the disparate spheres. The sources selected are those in English, as well as in Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

Given the different languages involved, and the difficulty in having one person having a command of all four languages, some of the descriptions herein of the content of the secondary sources are perforce extremely brief and sometimes add relatively little value to the title. However, a minimum of title translation has been set as a bench mark so that researchers can if interested then take the search further by actually looking at the material for themselves. The observations that follow the title headings are not necessarily intended to be evaluative or judgmental about the work and vary in the manner of the light they shed on the material.

The following may be observed about the literature from and with reference to the NEA. First, there is an impressive array of research, particularly latterly in the last decade. This scholarly engagement is coterminous with the advent of the economic progress within the region. Second, there is relatively more engagement in the sphere of world trade law post the establishment of the WTO then in the investment sector, wherein scholarly consciousness has been relatively more recent. This is also generally the case globally. Third, generally the legal scholarship does not appear to be fundamental, theoretical, interdisciplinary or global in its concerns. It is essentially led by the specific economic developments and preoccupations of the region, as much as national stand-points. Such engagement will doubtless come in the future.

2. General Overviews:

In each of the countreis of NEA there are general works in International Economic Law. These

are howver fairly oriented to world trade law, specifically WTO law. This is the case also in may American/European works on International Economic Law also. By the same token, each of the countries has a minimum of at least one promient journal in International Economic Law and in some cases specific journals dedicated to world trade or aspects thereof. All three countreis also have a fair amount of original data pertaining to International Economic Law on their respective relevant ministry

websites.
