AUTHOR

Richard T. Chang

SUMMARY

Author Richard Chang maintains that there is no factual evidence to support the Japanese contention that the Western consular tribunals of the nineteenth century were partial to Westerners and prejudiced against Japanese, and, consequently, seldom rendered equal justice. He ascertained how many of the more than 3,500 mixed cases were decided prejudicially against Japanese litigants. Chang's careful treatment of the five most celebrated mixed cases makes it possible to see for the first time how international law operated through consular jurisdiction and how the Japanese were trying to protect national interests within a justice system dependent on Western jurists. The book also provides the first overview of the extra-territorial agreements between Japan and the Western powers with which it traded during this period.Richard T. Chang is the author of 'The Justice of the Western Consular Courts in Nineteenth-Century Japan (Contributions in Intercultural and Comparative Studies)', published 1984 under ISBN 9780313241031 and ISBN 0313241031.
