ABSTRACT
As we made clear in the Introduction (Chapter 1), this book is the result of a conference that was held in May 2013 in Beijing. This conference constituted a follow-up to an earlier conference held in Beijing in May 2012, which resulted in a book with the same publisher. 1 Whereas the first volume largely (and relatively broadly) focused on issues related to economics and regulation in China, the second conference, and hence this book, provided a more narrow focus by concentrating on law and finance and more particularly on the role of law and regulation in sustaining financial markets.
