Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the new Japanese Civil Code, a groundbreaking legal document that emerged from a period of sweeping social and political change in the late 19th century. The author takes us on a journey through the process of the code's creation, highlighting the complex interplay between Japan's traditional legal framework and the influences of Western jurisprudence, specifically those of England, France, and Germany. The author skillfully illuminates the profound impact of this contact between East and West, not just on the legal system, but also on Japanese society as a whole. The book delves into the fundamental shifts in Japanese legal thinking as the code's creators grappled with notions of right, duty, and the role of the individual within the family and society. The author examines the evolution of the legal status of women, noting how the code dramatically altered their position, moving them from a state of dependence to a more equal standing. We see how the code reflects the changing relationship between the government and its citizens, with the introduction of the idea of law as a public proclamation rather than a secret decree for officials. By examining these transformations, the book offers a compelling illustration of how law can become a catalyst for social change. This book presents a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of legal history and the fascinating interplay between legal systems and cultural evolution.
