The Chinese legal system : globalization and local legal culture
"The legal system of the People's Republic of China has seen significant changes since reforms were begun in 1978. By 2001, after the second decade of legal reform, law making and institution building have reached impressive levels. The achievements of legal reform in China are many and varied, but the imperative of maintaining supremacy for the Party-state remains a salient feature in the process. This book analyses the major features of the Chinese legal system on the eve of China's accession to the World Trade Organization, in light of tensions between international legal norms and local legal culture." "Essential reading for students and academics in the field of Chinese law, this book will also prove extremely valuable for those interested in comparative law, Chinese politics, international relations and the Chinese economy."--Jacket
