TITLE: Правовая система Китая / Legal system of China

PUBLISHER: Институт Дальнего Востока Российской Академии Наук, 2018

This is the first comprehensive book in Russian dedicated to the modern Chinese legal system.

The research contains a detailed description of the main stages of the development of the legal system from the establishing of the People's Republic of China in 1949 to the present time. The chapters of the book examine the influence of tradition on the legal system, the relationship between law and politics, law and ideology in Chinese society as well as the "socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics". The research also discusses the contribution of the Russian (Soviet) legal and Russian Chinese studies approach to the Chinese legal system. A part of the book focuses on the main branches of public and private law of the PRC. It contains a detailed analysis of constitutional, criminal, civil, administrative, and other branches (environmental, energy, labor, military) of law and the PRC's procedural law, which has received not too much attention before in Chinese studies in Russia. The legal systems of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan play an important role in understanding the specifics of Chinese law.
