This fascinating book explores how issues of law and justice are
being re-defined by China's obsession with 'social stability' and
how this might impact upon claims to legitimacy that the
Party-state advances. A first-rate team of experts put their lens
on a wide range of important areas including trial and settlement
practices, administrative law, criminal justice, environmental
pollution, labor relations, land ownership, policing and welfare.
Each contribution offers key insights into how we should understand
the effects of China s response to increasing social discord.' -
Mike McConville, The Chinese University of Hong KongThe Politics of
Law and Stability in China examines the nexus between social
stability and the law in contemporary China. It explores the impact
of Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) rationales for social stability
on legal reforms, criminal justice operations and handling of
disputes and social unrest inside and outside China's justice
agencies. The book presents an extensive investigation into the
conceptual and empirical approaches by the Party-state to the
management of Chinese citizen complaint and unrest. It explores how
the Party-state responds to what it sees as potentially
de-stabilizing social action such as public protest, discord,
deviance and criminal behavior. This timely and important study
reaches across a broad variety of areas within the legal sphere,
including substantive criminal law and criminal procedure law
reform, labour law, environment and land disputes, policing and
surveillance, and anti-corruption drives. The central thread
running through all the chapters concerns how the imperative of
social stability has underpinned key Party-state approaches to
social management and responses to crime, legal disputes and social
unrest across the last decade in China. This book will appeal to
lawyers, political science scholars and social scientists in the
area of China studies. Scholars generally interested in Chinese
criminal law and criminal law procedures will also find much in
this book that will be of interest to them. Contributors: S.
