Reviews

'… an excellent addition to the existing scholarship in transitional justice, authoritarian legality, and Chinese law … Recommended.' Z. Ni, Choice '… the book makes a significant contribution to the field of Chinese law. Apart from addressing scholars of Chinese and comparative law, the book makes excellent reading for students of law or Chinese studies taking an introductory course in Chinese law.'
