From Book News, Inc. This volume arose from a panel on contemporary Chinese law presented to the 1990 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies. The purpose of the panel was to review the decade of legal reform since 1979 by reference to selected areas of Chinese domestic law, and the focus of this volume is likewise on reforms in domestic law rather than law on foreign matters, in the belief that these provide a better indication of the interplay between legal change and changed conditions of life in China. Following an introduction, the volume is divided into three sections: conceptual and institutional foundations; economic and civil law; and public law relations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
