Chinese Law in a Global Context, Gebunden

Klappentext

This collection addresses a glaring gap in comparative and international law literature.

Rich, nuanced and multi-faceted, Chinese legal culture is fascinating but little understood outside the country's borders, due to language barriers and the complexity of its society and governance. This book addresses this gap by identifying key aspects of Chinese law that most contribute to China's role as a global player. Organised around the themes of stability and prosperity, it covers important topics such as the Chinese political and constitutional system, the Chinese criminal justice system and the evolution of Chinese law.

It goes further to look at China on the world stage, exploring cross-border commerce, international trade and investment, foreign policy and Chinese perspectives on international law. Written by talented scholars based both inside and outside China who have a deep understanding of the subjects, it offers unique insights into one of the lesser known but arguably most impactful of the world's jurisdictions. Legal scholars, law students, as well as practising lawyers engaged in commercial activities related to China will find this book invaluable.
