China's rapid socioeconomic transformation of the past twenty years
has led to dramatic changes in its judicial system and legal
practices. As China becomes more powerful on the world stage, the
global community has dedicated more resources and attention to
understanding the country's evolving democratization, and
policymakers have identified the development of civil liberties and
long-term legal reforms as crucial for the nation's acceptance as a
global partner. Modern Chinese Legal Reform is designed as a legal
and political research tool to help English-speaking scholars
interpret the many recent changes to China's legal system.
Investigating subjects such as constitutional history, the
intersection of politics and law, democratization, civil legal
practices, and judicial mechanisms, the essays in this volume
situate current constitutional debates in the context of both the
country's ideology and traditions and the wider global community.
Editors Xiaobing Li and Qiang Fang bring together scholars from
multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive and balanced look
at a difficult subject. Featuring newly available official sources
and interviews with Chinese administrators, judges, law-enforcement
officers, and legal experts, this essential resource enables
readers to view key events through the eyes of individuals who are
intimately acquainted with the challenges and successes of the past
twenty years.
