Abstract

Providing comparisons to the United States and Britain, this book examines Japan's postwar consumer protection movement. Organized largely by and for housewives and spurred by major cases of price gouging and product contamination, the movement led to the passage of basic consumer protection legislation in 1968. Although much of the story concerns the famous "iron triangle" of big business, national bureaucrats, and conservative party politics, Maclachlan takes a broader perspective. She points to the importance of activity at the local level, the role of minority parties, the limited utility of the courts, and the place of lawyers and academics in providing access to power. These mild social strategies have resulted in a significant amount of consumer protection.

Abstract

This is the first Western-language research monograph detailing significant developments in consumer law and policy across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), underpinned by a growing middle class and implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community from 2016. Eight chapters examine consumer law topics within ASEAN member states (such as product safety and consumer contracts) and across them (financial and health services), as well as the interface with competition law and the nature of ASEAN as a unique and evolving international organisation. The authors include insights from extensive fieldwork, partly through consultancies for the ASEAN Secretariat, to provide a reliable, contextual and up-to-date analysis of consumer law and policy development across the region. The volume also draws on and contributes to theories of law and development in multiple fields, including comparative law, political economy and regional studies.

Abstract

The markets for goods and services have undergone significant changes over the past 20 years. Regulatory reform, global markets, new technologies and growth in the role of services in economic activity have driven the changes which, in many instances, have provided significant benefits to consumers. Relatively little attention has been paid to the challenges these developments have posed for consumers. More choice and more complexity in many markets have made it increasingly difficult for them to compare and assess the value of products and services. The challenges for consumers have raised similar challenges for the government authorities responsible for protecting them from unfair commercial practices and fraud. This book examines how markets have evolved and provides insights for improved consumer policy making. It explores, for the first time, how what we have learned through the study of behavioural economics is changing the way policy makers are addressing problems.

Abstract

Die Grenzen innerhalb der Europäischen Union sind durchlässig geworden - für Verbraucher aber gilt dies nur bedingt: Denn trotz vielfältiger Ansätze, das Verbraucherrecht in Europa zu harmonisieren, werden grenzüberschreitende Geschäfte von Verbrauchern selten getätigt. Die Europäische Kommission führtdas auf ein fehlendes Vertrauen der Verbraucher zurück und hat im Herbst 2008 den Entwurf einer Richtlinie vorgelegt, die einen in allen EU-Länderngleich hohen Schutzstandard von Verbraucherrechten garantieren soll - eine Harmonisierung von Verbraucherrechten. Dieser Vorschlag steht in deutlichemGegensatz zu dem bisher bei verbraucherprivatrechtlichen Richtlinien verfolgten Konzept der Mindestharmonisierung. Die wegweisenden Ergebnisseder im Juni 2010 veranstalteten internationalen Fachtagung zu diesem Thema präsentiert der Band "Vollharmonisierung im Europäischen Verbraucherrecht?".
