Journal overview
Chinese Law and Government (中国法与治) is an English-language journal featuring research articles, translations of important Chinese Communist Party and state documents and laws, and document discussion articles.
The journal features work on law and government, broadly defined, in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It welcomes work on formal, codified rules and on informal, unwritten rules and norms. It encourages contributions that examine laws, regulations, or normative documents, and contributions that examine processes of implementation and adaption, and processes of influence on and by Party, state, and society. It also encourages contributions that explore relationships between the legal system and other rule systems, such as policies, intra-party regulations, and customs or norms.
Chinese Law and Government is committed to disciplinary and methodological pluralism. We encourage contributions from all disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, and particularly welcome interdisciplinary perspectives.
The editors hope that Chinese Law and Government can act as a forum for communication and exchange between Chinese and Anglophone scholarship and between scholars based in the PRC and elsewhere around the world. We welcome proposals for special issues on any of the topics within the journal’s scope.
