The Judicial System of China
Law as an Instrument
Domestic Law Reforms in Post-Mao China
This volume explores various aspects of the law in transition in post-Mao China. Stanley Lubman's introduction places each of the substantive chapters in the larger context of Chinese legal studies. Edward Epstein analyses the transplanting of European and Anglo-American legal ideologies into China, and the dilemmas this poses for the rule of law and legitimation in the reform period. Murray Scot Tanner analyses reforms in the legislative process…
Linking Global Trade and Human Rights
During the global economic crisis of 2008, countries around the world used national policy spaces to respond to the crisis in ways that shed new light on the possibilities for linkages between international trade and human rights. This book introduces the idea of policy space as an innovative way to reframe recent developments in global governance. It brings together a wide-ranging group of leading experts in international law, trade, human right…
Consultation and Deliberation in China
In April 2009, the Chinese government unveiled a plan for a comprehensive overhaul of the country's medical system. This dramatic moment was preceded by public debate, as well as government introduction of forums for public participation, which allowed diverse social groups to provide feedback on the policymaking process. Tracing the origins and outcome of the debate and public participation, we ask whether this debate and participation go beyond…
People's Republic of China Provisional Regulations on Art Import and Export Administration
China's increased interaction with the global community has led to significant changes in art and artistic expression. The China art market is expanding by leaps and bounds, and artists are subject to an increasingly broad range of influences. Not least of these are the discourses of artistic criticism, with targets that range from international financial institutions to domestic policies. Art in China has for millennia been used as a vehicle for…
June and Charter 08
This article will examine the dissident human rights document circulated in China under the title 'Charter 08' by comparison with the 4 June 1989 democracy movement as exercises of popular remonstrance. The document entitled 'Charter 08' juxtaposes continued deprivation of human rights in China with continued reliance on ineffective and corrupt institutions of the rule of law and concludes that China has many laws but lacks the rule of law. Chart…
Dilemmas of Access to Healthcare in China
Introduction China's compliance with international standards pertaining to human rights in health warrants particular attention, not only because of the global implications of China's handling of health issues such as SARS, HIV and avian flu, but also because of the effects on the well-being of the Chinese people. China has committed itself to compliance with international human rights standards on the right to the highest attainable standard of …
Selective Adaptation and Human Rights to Health in China
This article advances an alternative paradigm for making judgments about China's compliance with its international obligations in the realm of health and human rights, grounded on the reality that non-local rule regimes are interpreted and applied according to the extent of commonality between the norms underlying these international rule regimes and local cultural norms. This paradigm, "selective adaptation", allows us to determine that China co…
Selective Adaptation and Institutional Capacity
Human rights policies and practices in the People's Republic of China have repeatedly been criticized for falling short of international standards. Although China has signed the international covenant on civil and political rights, so far it has ratified only the international covenant on economic, social, and cultural rights, despite repeated urgings by the international community. China's performance even under the agreements to which it is bou…
Legal Reform in China
Legal Reform in China
China's law reform program began in late 1978, at the Third Plenum of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (Zhongguo gongchandang). The plenum reflected a tentative policy consensus about the need to reform the state-planned economy and build a legal system that would support economic growth and restore for the regime the monopoly on legitimate coercion that had been lost during the Cultural Revolution. Initial efforts i…
Belief in Control
This article examines the regulation of religion in China, in the context of changing social expectations and resulting dilemmas of regime legitimacy. The post-Mao government has permitted limited freedom of religious belief, subject to legal and regulatory restrictions on religious behaviour. However, this distinction between belief and behaviour poses challenges for the regime's efforts to maintain political control while preserving an image of…
Guanxi and the PRC Legal System
Discussions of the role of "guanxi" in Chinese society are commonplace. Whether in economics, politics, or social relations, guanxi is frequently posited as a fundamental dynamic that determines the process and outcomes of behavior. guanxi has also been examined as a critical element in business relationships. While the importance of personal relationships and networks is widely acknowledged as a universal, albeit socially embedded, phenomenon, a…
Social Connections in China
Guanxi, translated as 'social connections,' or 'social networks,' is among the most important studied phenomena in China today. Guanxi lies at the heart of China's social order, its economic structure, and its changing institutional landscape. It is considered important in every realm of life, from politics to business, and officialdom to street life. This 2002 volume offers scholarly thinking on the subject by top China sociologists whose work o…

Political Science in the International Field
Political science, like all other branches of social science, has, in the past century, become increasingly inductive in method. Attempts to deduce conclusions regarding the details of political organization and practice by speculative thought concerning the nature of man, of liberty, of authority, of society, and so on, have now largely ceased. In their place we have efforts to collect as much data as possible concerning actual forms of state or…

Inhibitions Upon the Treaty-Making Power of the United States
On several occasions in the years since 1919 delegates of the United States to international conferences have referred to constitutional arrangements in their country as inhibiting participation by the United States in the conclusion of international agreements of one type or another. Such action raises a problem of great theoretical or pure scientific interest and of great practical importance as well. It has been discussed by various students i…
Origin of the System of Mandates Under the League of Nations
The present arrangements for the government of the colonial territories taken from Germany and Turkey in the World War, arrangements which may collectively be described as the system of mandates under the League of Nations, may work well or they may work badly. They may persist into an indefinite future, they may come to an abrupt termination and leave nothing of their own kind in their place, or, most probable of all, they may be progressively m…

Contemporary Problems of International Organization
Fifty years, ago, following the outbreak of World War I, there emerged in the United States and in Europe a movement for the expansion and improvement of international organization for peace and welfare.* Since that time international institutions have multiplied to a degree astounding to the outside observer;* the latter perforce needs an analytical guide to even discover what institutions exist and what they do. These possibly somewhat inflated…

The Classification of International Organizations, I
Classification is regarded by some as a very elementary and a very barren scientific device or method. For those who attach most importance to applied science, and to the achievement of practical ends, classification seems a dry and futile procedure. For those likewise who insist upon the importance of moral standards and purposes, the brutally empirical inductive process of classification seems inhuman, possibly even anti-social.That classificat…
Permanent Delegations to the League of Nations
The student of international organization who visits the League of Nations in its home city of Geneva encounters one phenomenon associated with the organization and activity of the League which seldom receives much, if any, attention in the news of the day or in current discussions of League problems. That is the so-called Permanent Delegation to the League of Nations. As will appear, these institutions are sometimes located elsewhere than in Gen…
Relative Authority of International Law and National Law in the United States

In view of the probable necessity for many years yet to come of relying for the development and application of international law upon national legislatures, courts, and exec…

The doctrine of servitudes as it stands at present in international law is in a very incoherent state. From the Roman law the concept, with an elaborate set of rules for its operation but with no philosophic or theoretical development, was transmitted at the time of “the Reception” to the semi-feudal jus publicum of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the doctrine was taken over by the developi…

The Future of the Consular Office
The consulate is an old and a dignified office. Through various vicissitudes the consul has come down to us from the days when, with the dawn of new courage and enterprise, the closing of the Middle Ages saw the revival of international trade and travel in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Hence the future of that office must be of considerable interest from an historical point of view, to say nothing of the interest which all of us who expec…

In the present study the phrase “ foreign policy ” will be used to refer to the purposes or objectives and the corresponding program of action held in view by one nation in carrying on its relations with other nations. More especially it is intended to refer beyond the surface current of events which constitute the foreign affairs or diplomatic relations of a nation in an objective sense, and which are frequently confused with the rules or tenets…
