This question is explored against the backdrop of a world where East and Southeast Asian societies challenge the boundaries of traditional liberal democracy. Daniel Bell promotes symbolic monarchy, which supposedly fosters social unity, stability, and ethical leadership without authoritarianism, proposing it as a model for China. Hirohide Takikawa discusses legitimacy in democratic and authoritarian regimes, arguing that non-democratic systems can have authority if they secure equal freedom. Beyond the two focal contributions, the volume brings together a range of perspectives on pressing themes including frontiers of legal theory, the role and reality of judges, the interface between law and science, cosmopolitanism and culture, and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy engaging both historical legacies and contemporary challenges, the essays collectively shed new light on how legal and political ideals are shaped, contested, and reimagined across cultures. This collection is an invitation to scholars and students interested in understanding a world where \"East Meets West\" is no longer a cliché but a call for renewed dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMakoto Usami is a professor in the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University and a visiting professor at the Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, Technical University of Munich.\nHidehiko Adachi is Professor at the Faculty of Law, Kanazawa University.
