This project is a collective effort in which many contributed to the final product. The chapters were originally presented at a conference hosted by the University of Hong Kong in December 2011. Generous financial and in-kind support was provided by the Beijing Center of the University of Chicago, the University of Hong Kong, the University of Chicago Law School, and its Russell Baker Scholars Fund. Our thanks to Deans Johannes Chan and Michael Schill, and to Professor Dali Yang. Special thanks to Dr. Christopher and Mrs. Chermy Lai, who hosted our group with exceptional generosity and grace. Flora Leung and Claudia Lai provided essential support, and Kayla Ginsburg, Natalia Ginsburg, Emily Heasley, and Jeyshree Ramachandran provided superb research assistance in preparing the manuscript. We would also like to thank our respondents at the conference who contributed their country expertise to round out the chapters: Wen-chen Chang, Diane Desierto, Bjoern Dressel, John Gillespie, Teilee Kuong, HP Lee, Tokujin Matsudaira, Fritz Siregar, Kai Tu, and Po-Jen Yap. Others from the University of Hong Kong community were also generous with their expertise.
