Consumer Protection in Asia, edited by Geraint Howells, Hans-W Micklitz, Mateja Durovic and André Janssen

Durovic, this very substantial book-entitled Consumer Protection in Asia-analyses consumer protection laws across various Asian countries, assessing the distinctive situation in the jurisdictions covered and placing issues in broader comparative and international settings. 1 The book is a foundational resource for understanding consumer law in Asia.It provides a comprehensive examination of the nature of consumer protection law within the region, offering practical insights and identifying areas for future research, legal reform and policy enhancement.The book considers fundamentally important topics such as sales law, right of withdrawal, unfair terms, product liability, commercial practices and digital adaptation.Another particularly important issue is enforcement mechanisms.The book acknowledges that enforcement remains underdeveloped across many Asian jurisdictions, characterized by weak consumer organizations and resource-constrained regulatory bodies,
