Practicing Transparency. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 220
China is in the midst of unprecedented economic
transformation. Fundamental legal reform accompanies
these changes as the government promotes the rule of
law. Foreign lawyers have played a critical role in this
process, working toward greater transparency
in China's legal system. This book examines how
foreign lawyers working in China promote China's legal
transformation in their daily practice, and how the
country's opaque legal environment causes lawyers to
alter the roles they play for clients. While working
in China, these foreign lawyers operate under
restrictions on their legal
practice. This book analyzes how these
lawyers respond to such restrictions by
following, bending or violating the Chinese regulations.
This innovative
sociological
study is based on
extensive original interviews with legal
practitioners in China. Readers with an interest in
China, law, or sociology will find this book
particularly illuminating.
