This book offers a unique insight into the role of human rights
lawyers in Chinese law and politics. In her extensive account, Eva
Pils shows how these practitioners are important as legal advocates
for victims of injustice and how bureaucratic systems of control
operate to subdue and marginalise them. The book discusses how
human rights lawyers and the social forces they work for and with
challenge the system. In conditions where organised political
opposition is prohibited, rights lawyers have begun to articulate
and coordinate demands for legal and political change. Drawing on
hundreds of anonymised conversations, the book analyses in detail
human rights lawyers' legal advocacy in the face of severe
institutional limitations and their experiences of repression at
the hands of the police and state security apparatus, along with
the intellectual, political and moral resources lawyers draw upon
to survive and resist. Key concerns include the interaction between
the lawyers and their bureaucratic, professional and social
environments and the forms and long term political impact of
resistance. In addressing these issues, Pils offers a rare
evaluative perspective on China's legal and political system, and
proposes new ways to assess domestic advocacy's relationship with
international human rights and rule of law promotion. This book
will be of great interest and use to students and scholars of law,
Chinese studies, socio-legal studies, political studies,
international relations, and sociology. It is also of direct value
to people working in the fields of human rights advocacy, law,
politics, international relations, and journalism.
