'It is a book about the growing heterogeneity and transformation of the Chinese court system, in relation to the nature of China's partystate and the changing social, political, and economic environment ... Through this analytical framework, disparate strands of researches on Chinese courts can be brought together. This book provides an important touchstone for researches on Chinese courts for years to come.' Juan Wang, Journal of Chinese Political Science 'Every good book raises as many questions as it answers, and this is a very good book. The most obvious concern China, and Embedded Courts will be required reading for those interested in China.' Frank K. Upham, Law & Social Inquiry
