Summary

"As China becomes more powerful on the world stage, international policymakers insist that long-term legal reforms and the development of civil liberties are crucial for the nation's acceptance as a global partner. In Modern Chinese Legal Reform, editors Xiaobing Li and Qiang Fang bring together scholars from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive look at China's rapid socioeconomic transformation and the dramatic changes in its judicial system and legal practices. Investigating subjects such as constitutional history, the intersection of politics and law, democratization, civil legal practices, and judicial mechanisms, this volume situates current constitutional debates in the context of both the country's ideology and traditions and the wider global community"--P. [4] of cover.
