Summary

"This book analyses the changing Chinese approach in law to the adjustment of social interests in the context of profound transition from the planned to the market economy. With reference to interviews of some of China's most senior jurists as well as to a wide-ranging coverage of Chinese law journals and legal materials, it provides the first comprehensive multidisciplinary analysis of the jurisprudence and related law underlying China's transition to the 'socialist market economy'." "Law and Justice in China's New Marketplace offers rare coverage of the interior debates and perspectives concerning the changing values which underlie contemporary Chinese law. The book is a unique reference tool: it identities and analyses the new vocabulary of market jurisprudence and law. It explores the connection between market development and rule-of-law making, as it accesses the last several years of hot internal debate over human rights protection, 'property' verses 'ownership rights' and procedural justice."--Jacket.
