This book is the outcome of the first phase of a long-term research project on “Legal Reform in China”. Although most of its chapters are articles previously published in international journals and/or edited books, it is this author’s desire to combine them into a single text so as to assist people who are interested in legal developments in China better to know and understand how law plays its role in the reforming of Chinese society and how the Chinese legal system itself responds to the continuing reforms and changes in China.
