How do legal systems actually operate outside of Western European
or North American liberal democracies? To understand law and legal
institutions globally, we must go beyond asking if countries comply
with idealized, yet under-theorized, rule of law principles to
determine how they work in practice. Examining legal regimes across
different areas of criminal and civil law in both urban and rural
China and Indonesia during distinct periods from 1949 to the
present, William Hurst offers a new way of understanding how cases
are adjudicated (and with what implications) across authoritarian,
developing, post-colonial, and newly democratizing settings. This
is the first systematic comparative study of the world's largest
Communist and majority-Muslim nations, and the most comprehensive
scholarly work in many years on the micro-level workings of either
the Chinese or Indonesian legal system at the grassroots, based on
a decade of research and extensive fieldwork in multiple Indonesian
and Chinese provinces.
