Routledge China's Socialist Rule of Law Reforms Under Xi Jinping

Explore the evolving legal landscape of modern China with this scholarly analysis from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. This book examines how the Communist Party of China (CPC) manages key legal challenges to modernize legal and administrative institutions. As China undergoes significant structural changes, a diverse group of actors now seeks to influence legal development. This includes securities regulators, bankers, accountants, lawyers, and local-level mediators, along with members of the newly rich. As the rising middle class looks to voice interests and concerns, the CPC works to maintain its leading role within the system. This text provides a critical appraisal of the deepening socialist rule of law, offering essential context for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the political economy of China. It offers a clear look at the tension between institutional modernization and party leadership in one of the world's most influential economies.
