This book aims to provide a context-informed, culture-sensitive picture of the reception of human rights in the early period of Chinese modernization. Following the delineation of the role of human rights in the democratic campaign, the anti-patriarchy movement and the cultural-psychological transformation, it inquires the conceptual grounds for the reception of human rights as well as features of the Sinicized understanding of human rights. It presents how the indigenous humanistic resources and the imported Western ideas jointly resulted in the ready acceptance of human rights, which was remarkably underpinned by a prevalent patriotic motivation. Observing the moral connotation in the Chinese interpretation of human rights, it discloses the impact of the traditional ‘ethical’ vision of the individual that subsumed the ‘right’ perspective, which both harbored the inclination of new forms of oppression of individual freedom, and provided a possible paradigm that synthesizes the good of the individual and of society. This constituted an inquiry of the relationship between Confucianism and human rights, which is still a theme of fierce debate in contemporary discussions.

From 1897, political, economic and cultural changes began to intensify, and a human rights discourse gradually made its appearance. Literature profoundly changed as well. Fiction, which had been largely excluded from orthodox literature, started to acquire a prominent status. This thesis investigates the engagement of modern Chinese fiction with the human rights discourse from 1897 to 1927. It argues that modern Chinese fiction added momentum to the human rights discourse by presenting an individual-based perception of life and by disseminating human rights concepts. Fiction also provided an important critique of the human rights discourse by exposing the problems, limitations and dilemmas of human rights in the Chinese society. In the introduction, I provide a historical overview of the human rights discourse and the rise of modern fiction. Each chapter then focuses on one literary text and one specific right, and establishes a dialogue between them. In Chapter 1, I discuss the reception of the French novel The Lady of the Camellias in relation to the right to freedom of marriage. This novel depicts the destruction of love due to the interference of family authority. I discuss how its techniques of first-person narration, psychological depictions and epistolarity reinforced the novel's effect in evoking readers' empathy and sympathy towards people who lacked the freedom to marry, and therefore contributed to the social recognition of freedom of marriage. Chapter 2 examines Lu Xun's story Regret for the Past in relation to the women's rights discourse. The story is written as a man's confession about his responsibility for the destruction of his woman after their pursuit of freedom of marriage. I show that through the unreliable narrator, the use of silence and the realist depictions of social environment, the narrative questions the social discourse of women's rights by revealing the underlying patriarchal consciousness and demonstrating its destructive effects. In Chapter 3, I discuss Lu Xun's novella, The True Story of Ah Q, which tells the story of the life, the unjust trial and the execution of a peasant named Ah Q, in relation to the consciousness of the right to life. I argue that through the techniques of irony, realism, symbolic realism and the shift in narrative perspective, this story reflects the neglect of the value of life in the Chinese society and raises the readers' awareness of these facts which would lead to self-introspection and the quest for change. Overall, with the use of vernacular language, the thematic engagement with human rights issues, and the deployment of techniques like realism and first-person narration, modern Chinese fiction disseminated ideas about human rights to a wider audience and provoked readers to think beyond the prevailing normative framework to imagine an order more compatible with the rising individuality. Fiction's focus on the conditions of everyday human existence also brought about a higher awareness of the inner contradictions within the human rights discourse itself.

The Korean Constitutional Court adopted a two-prong test in its first case on dissolution of political party in determining whether to dissolve the political party. According to Article 8 Section 4 of the Korean Constitution, a political party may be dissolved if the purposes or activities of the political party are contrary to the fundamental democratic order. The Korean Constitutional Court not only used Article 8(4) of the Constitution as a standard of review for dissolution of political party but also adopted the principle of proportionality as another standard of review to be met even though the Constitution does not explicitly say so. The European Court of Human Rights has also used essentially a two-step test where the dissolution of a political party is justified if there is a pressing social need for the dissolution and the dissolution is proportionate to the legitimate aims pursued. In principle, the criteria established by the Korean Constitutional Court is very similar to the ones developed by the European Court of Human Rights even though the outcome of the application seems to be somewhat different.

The book lies in the field of Legal Studies. The practical goal of this book is to provide an accessible yet challenging explanation of the cases dealt in the area of medical negligence, first by the European Commission of Human Rights (from 1954 to 1998, before Protocol 11 to the European Convention on Human Rights entered into force, allowing individuals to have direct access to the European Court of Human Rights) and later on by the European Court of Human Rights. The book is intended as a manageable and useful introduction in the legal issues examined by the above mentioned European judicial bodies in connection with allegations of medical negligence, and therefore does not attempt to delve into the entirety of the subject in the full detail it deserves.

The purpose of this book is to discuss the main provisions of the Rome I Regulation relating to employment contracts with an international element. It outlines two competing objectives of the regulation, namely, to increase legal certainty and predictability of the law applicable to the contract and to ensure the protection of the employee as the party to a contract viewed as being weaker. It answers the questions concerning the scope of the autonomy of the parties making the choice of law, as well as the mode of indication of the applicable law in the absence of choice. It is clear from the considerations in the book that the solution adopted for individual employment contracts expresses the will of the authors of the regulation, to ensure, first and foremost, the protection of the worker as the weaker party to a contract.
