The Changing Chinese Legal System, 1978-Present: Centralization of Power and Rationalization of the Legal System (East Asia: History, Politics, Sociology and Culture) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This groundbreaking book examines the changing Chinese legal system since 1978. In addition to historical analyses of changes at the economic, political-legal, and social levels, Liang gives special attention to crime and punishment functions of the legal system, and the current judicial system based on field research, i.e., court observations in both Beijing and Chengdu. The court system has been in a process of systemization, both internally and externally, seeking more power and relative independence. However, traditional influences, such as preference of mediation (over litigation) and substantive justice (over procedural justice), and lack of respect (from the masses) and guaranteed power (from the political structure), still have major impacts on the building and operation of the judicial system. Liang also shrewdly places the Chinese legal and political reform within the global system. This book, which reshapes our understanding of the economic, political, and essentially legal changes in China within the global context, will be crucial reading for scholars of Asia, law, criminal justice, and sociology.

Review
'...the book is a valuable piece of scholarship in the "law and society" tradition that seeks to place China's legal reform in the last thirty years within the context of its economic, social and political change. It deserves to be read by students and academics who study the contemporary Chinese legal system and are concerned about the prospects for the rule of law in China.' - Albert H. Y. Chen, The China Quarterly, 196, December 2008
