A resource for scholars, students, and entrepreneurs

This series offers a wide-ranging survey of various aspects of the unfamiliar field of Chinese law in over 50 articles and essays by both Western and Asian experts. They are organized and presented in broad categories that make the information accessible to non-specialists, such as independent business persons who need a basic overview of the unfamiliar legal rules and potential pitfall.s The articles also provide scholars with a handy reference resource and a collection of works that may shed new lights on and stimulate new thinking about familiar subjects and concerns.

The first handy compendium in English

The first compilation of the field's major studies in English, the material is organized according to four general categories: the basis of Chinese law; how the law impacts on the individual and the state; what rules govern contracts and disputes; and law as a means of controlling foreigners. Each of these categories serves as a convenient shortcut to the best published analyses of Chinese law available in English, from the latest legal changes to marriage agreements, from litigation procedures and the Hong Kong question to law in Taiwan. Chinese law is a field burgeoning in size and sophistication, and its studies are published in a wide variety of sources around the world. This collection gathers for you the most important works.
