A unique analysis of the transformation of law in one of Asia's
most dynamic and vibrant nations - a socialist state that is now
seeking to build a market economy while struggling to pursue an
ethos of social quality and opportunity. Covering a wide range of
issues, including the changing role of constitutions and
constitutionalism in a rapidly transforming state, the uses and
development of economic law, the use of law to control state
authority and wrongful governmental behavior, the emergence of
public interest law and the use of law to strengthen social
equality and civil rights, the growing role of non-governmental
organizations and their regulation by the government, the changing
role of lawyers, and the role of foreign donors in this legal
reform process. Comparisons are made to parallel developments in
another transforming socialist state, the People's Republic of
China
