This is an original interdisciplinary study of Chinese law, its
language, and political institution. Evolving within a complex
literary framework over thousands of years, Chinese language has
lost its conceptual distinctiveness to its multilevel and
overlapping meanings and connotations. Chinese law has become
inflated with contrary rulings and exceptions. This mass of rules
requires an extra-lingual (legal) authority to redefine boundaries
and specify applications. This book follows and continues the
author's, The Boundaries of Meaning and the Formation of Law
(McGill University Press) by illustrating how language shapes the
formation, application, and administration of law in various
cultural environments. Law and Politics in Modern China is an
important book for those interested in Chinese history, culture,
law, and politics. It also provides refreshing insights about the
way that law continues to function after its language matures and
creates contradictions and loopholes within its system of
rules--one of the most important issues facing Western legal
administration in the immediate future.
