Description:
Chinese Legality focuses on the concept of 'legality' as a lens through which to look at Chinese legal reforms, making a valuable contribution to the argument that law has historically been used as a tool to control society in China.
Review Quotes:
'Shiping Hua offers one of the best collective studies on Chinese legal reforms by organizing world-leading scholars to explain how Xi Jinping used law to control Chinese government and society. Insightful and provocative, a milestone in Chinese legal research. A must-read for those who are interested in Chinese politics and law.'
Xiaobing Li, University of Central Oklahoma, USA
'This timely new volume, edited by Professor Shiping Hua of the University of Louisville - Chinese Legality: Ideology, Law and Institutions - is both comprehensive and of considerable interest to students and academics studying current Chinese law and state legal institutions. Given the many recent challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, realignment of global power and the evolution of Chinese Communist Party rule after the 20th Party Congress, this collection of analyses by a multinational cohort of China scholars is a most welcome contribution.'
