The book describes various conventional interpretations of Chinese Trust Law submitted by legal scholars and compares diverse approaches regarding the ownership of trust property provided by jurisdictions globally. The book does not directly answer the question ?Who is the owner of trust property in China?? Instead, using a social capital perspective, it develops a more practical perspective to explain why Chinese trust business has grown rapidly even in lack of legal certainty regarding the location of ownership of trust property. The book also further predicts under what conditions is the time ripe to clarify the location of the ownership of trust property in China. By employing those sociological concepts often used to depict and analyze society, this book outlines the structure of the Chinese trust business and related social relations in different stages, i.e., the current rapid development stage, and the possible transitional stage in the near future. The focus is on how the social network structure affects the behavior of actors (such as the settlor, the trustee, and the beneficiaries, and/or their potential candidates) within the relevant section of Chinese society.  The book provides readers with an intensive analysis of the impacts of historical, cultural, and social elements on the legislation and development of trust law in China. It will appeal both to lawyers interested in the Chinese trust business and to comparative law researchers and social scientists. 410 0$aPerspectives in Law, Business and Innovation,$x2520-1883 606 $aCommercial law 606 $aFinancial services industry 606 $aCivil procedure 606 $aCommercial Law 606 $aFinancial Services 606 $aCivil Procedure Law 615 0$aCommercial law. 615 0$aFinancial services industry. 615 0$aCivil procedure. 615 14$aCommercial Law. 615 24$aFinancial Services. 615 24$aCivil Procedure Law. 676 $a346.510702632 700 $aMeng$b Zhen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0924537 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255264203321 996 $aOwnership of Trust Property in China$92075312 997 $aUNINA
