• catalog abstract ""The substantive nature of China's contemporary legal reform, in its relation to domestic economic and political modernisation, has received scant coverage in Western scholarship and media reporting. Of particular interest are the new points of departure in the thinking of China's legal circles. The latter have enjoyed varying, but, none the less, significant degrees of political support for the proposition that China must have 'rule of law', and not merely 'rule by law'." "Debate on the 'rule of law' has sparked lively domestic social science interest in comparative legal culture. In a time of heady social transformation and value change, legal experts and legislators have had to negotiate Party leadership differences over the expansion of market relations and changing patterns of ownership throughout society. Extensive borrowing of foreign legal experience has yet to be squared with the leadership's desire for a legal system responding to the prerequisites of economic reform under 'socialism with Chinese characteristics'." "The initial reform debate, encompassing the hedging of arbitrary government through law, has been progressively widened to include discussion and related legislation pertaining to the materialisation of 'human rights', the protection of individual and group 'rights and interests', and the mediation of conflict within society's changing 'structure of interests' through applied 'equality before the law'. Based upon extensive interviews and a comprehensive survey of the domestic press and Chinese-language legal journal materials, this book places preand post-Tiananmen Square legal reform in political context. The evolving contents of specific laws across the departments of constitutional, administrative, criminal, civil and economic law are assessed in light of the politics and intellectual dynamic of China's legal circles in their struggle to create a modern Chinese 'rule of law'."--Jacket.".
