The Stability Imperative: Human Rights and Law in China (Asia Pacific Legal Culture and Globalization) - Softcover
Book 1 of 5: Asia Pacific Legal Culture and Globalization
Synopsis
Growing inequality within Chinese society has led to public indignation, petitions to Party and state agencies, strikes, and large-scale protests. This book examines the intersection between the Chinese government’s preoccupation with the “protection of social stability” (weiwen), and its legal commitments to protect human rights. Drawing on case studies, Sarah Biddulph examines China’s response to labour unrest, medical disputes, and public anger over forced housing demolition. The result is a detailed analysis of the multiple and shifting ways stability imperatives impinge on the legal definition and implementation of human rights in China.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Stability preservation" (weiwen) has long been an imperative of China's one-party state. At the same time, China has recently embedded a commitment to the protection of human rights in its constitution. This book examines the multiple and shifting ways in which weiwen impinges on the implementation of human rights. Using case studies, Sarah Biddulph methodically examines the state's response to labour unrest, medical disputes, and forced housing evictions. As she demonstrates, the state's reaction can vary from taking steps to ameliorate the underlying causes of the citizens' grievances to the repression of rights-related protests and the punishment of protestors. The Stability Imperative: Human Rights and Law in China reveals how the systematic failure of the legal system to protect rights coupled with an overemphasis on coercive forms of stability preservation is undermining the authority of law in China and could, ultimately, damage the Communist Party's leadership. Legal expert Sarah Biddulph uses case studies to examine the multiple and shifting ways in which the Chinese government's efforts to maintain social and political stability impact on the legal definition and implementation of human rights in China.
