There have been an increasing need for greater integration of many Asian economies, either within the confines of ASEAN or on a more geo-economically strategic scale including major Asian jurisdictions like China, Japan, and Korea. A number of key personalities within the regional legal fraternity have advanced views that such integration ought to occur through the harmonization of legal rules, arguing that in doing so, uncertainty and other transaction costs would be reduced and commercial confidence within the region concomitantly increased. This edited volume brings together eminent and promising scholars and practitioners to investigate what convergence and divergence means in their respective fields and for Asia. Interwoven in the details of each tale of convergence is whether and how convergence ought to take place, and in so choosing, what are the attendant consequences for that choice.

The growth in cross-border trade and movement of people over the past decades has led to an increasing judicial, legislative and scholarly development of private international law, creating harmonised rules in some areas and new approaches in others. Many of these developments are reflected in Convergence and Divergence in Private International Law, which is a liber amicorum for Professor Kurt Siehr on the occasion of his 75th birthday. The book is an impressive collection of knowledge and ideas, containing 45 contributions by 50 scholars from around the world on various aspects of private international law as well as the harmonisation or reform of substantive private law. This article aims to demonstrate the diversity and richness of the contributions by looking at selected issues discussed in the book which have direct relevance to its title.
