The Chinese Legal System cover

The legal system of the People's Republic of China has seen significant changes since legal reforms began in 1978. At the end of the second decade of legal reform, law-making and institution-building have reached impressive levels. Understanding the operation and possible futures of law in the People's Republic of China requires an appreciation of the normative influences on the system, as well as an examination of how these norms have worked in practice.

'Will help the reader keep a cool head in the face of the political and legal changes China may undergo, ... and to evaluate what this developing country - even as an active and well-intentioned member of the WTO - can and cannot achieve where legal reform is concerned.' - China Perspectives

'Highly recommended to those interested in the Chinese legal system, comparative law, and Chinese politics'
