Aims and scope

This journal has ceased (2008).

China Law Review is an important new periodical which offers for the first time an accurate ’Chinese perspective’on legal developments. As the distinctions between Chinese and Western learning are blurring, the Review examines the Chinese approach and experience of realising democracy, human rights and the rule of law. The Review offers the Western academic world access to the research results and development tends of the Chinese law circle, and aims to create an equal dialogue between Chinese and Western scholars.



China Law Review offers an unprecedented insight into the legal practices, problems and theories of a contemporary Chinese society in transition.
