This book provides a comparative study of the administrative litigation systems in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao, as well as in a number of selected European countries including both states with an advanced rule of law and new democracies. The collective work illustrates the common characteristics of the rapid development of administrative litigation systems and whilst pointing out the shortcomings and challenges faced by each jurisdiction, the book offers both ideas and inspiration on how the systems can learn from and influence each other.
