Power versus Law in Modern China
«An important contribution to the literature on the law in the People's Republic of China (PRC), a polity which aspires to become a law-based state. The authors posit a conflict between the absolute power of the Chinese Communist Party and the constitutional guarantee of equal justice for all Chinese citizens irrespective of their station in life. They show that the power of the party consistently trumps justice."" - Steven I. Levine, coauthor of Arc of Empire: America's Wars in Asia from the Philippines to Vietnam
""This work is a unique interdisciplinary scholarship in nature and can conveniently serve assuch for the research in contemporary China in the fields of history, Chinese study, legal study, economics, political science, as well as sociology. While Western scholarship on China's economic reforms focus more on government policy-making, developmental process, or/and consequential achievements, very few pay close attention to the inner circle commotion and uproar often demanding legal reforms and political restructure inside China."" - Pingchao Zhu, author of The Americans and Chinese at the Korean War Cease-fire Negotiations, 1950 - 1953»
Today 700 million Chinese citizens -- more than fifty-four percent of the population -- live in cities. The mass migration of rural populations to urban centers increased rapidly following economic reforms of the 1990s, and serious problems such as overcrowding, lack of health services, and substandard housing have arisen in these areas since.
