It explores how notions constitutionalism appear to be impacting Chinese society in a wide variety of areas, including not simply juridical aspects such as legal practice, judicial decisionmaking, and legal scholarship and education; but also in possibly more far reach political and social aspects such as political consciousness and social resistance, mobilization and empowerment. Its chapters draw from a wide range of perspectives, and include historical analyses, jurisprudential analyses, ethnographic studies, and comparative analyses by scholars writing from both Chinese and Anglo-European perspectives. |
