Abstract: "This book provides a much-needed, systematic and in-depth analysis of China's legal system, and its development over the last two decades. It evaluates China's achievements in building a new legal system, but also identifies the theoretical and institutional limitations of China's legal reform. Featuring an extensive case study of foreign investment law, Chinese Legal Reform examines how progress towards the rule of law has been impeded." "This book offers a deeper understanding of China's legal development over the past twenty years and reveals the full picture of the role of the law in modern China's economic development and its international economic co-operation. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese law, business and economics, as well as to business people investing and working in China."--BOOK JACKET.
