Description

This comprehensive examination of China's legal system transformation since 1978 combines historical analysis with field research to reveal how economic, political-legal, and social forces have reshaped modern Chinese law. The book provides detailed court observations from Beijing and Chengdu, offering insights into the judicial system's ongoing process of systemization and pursuit of greater autonomy. Special emphasis is given to crime and punishment functions within the legal framework, whilst accounting for traditional influences like mediation preferences that continue to shape contemporary Chinese legal practice. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and students of Asian law and politics seeking to understand how China's legal institutions have evolved and adapted over four decades of reform.
