多元法律在地匯合（台灣史論叢 法律篇）
By 王泰升, 鄭維中, 曾文亮位處多方勢力交集的台灣，承受多股法律文明洗禮。原住民族於17世紀先遭逢歐洲的荷蘭法律，漢人移民接著引進東亞漢字文化圈法律傳統，19世紀末新興海權日本，帶入源自近代西方的憲政體制、刑事法律、財產法制，乃至親屬繼承法制。戰後改行民國時代中國的法律，但1949年起作為事實上國家，自主繼受歐美法律學說及制度，並於1990年代民主化後，形成當今法秩序。本書依上述歷史脈絡收錄10篇論文，以顯現政權或國家的變動，如何主宰台灣的法律規範內涵，以及制法與執法階層的文化屬性，最終多元鑲嵌成當今台灣人法律生活。期待讀者將本書就特定議題、特定時代所為較細緻的論辯，置於整個台灣法律史的框架內，進而從各種視角，提出更多具有洞見的學術論述。
