Description:
In 2007, significant progress was made in the construction of a socialist democracy and rule of law in China. The first essay in this edition of The China Legal Development Yearbook is “Legal Development amid Reform: A Review of 2007 and Predictions for 2008,” written by a research group from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Law. Thematic reports included in this volume discuss legislative development in China, administrative rule of law, judicial reform (including procuratorial reform, People’s Court reform, and legal service reform), legal development in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, and development of international law. The Special Reports section covers the death penalty system, government compensation for victims of crime, the delicate balance of leniency and severity in criminal justice, the criminal compensation system, China’s Antimonopoly Law, the Property Law, the Labor Contract Law, the Human Rights Law, the administrative fees system, China’s Financial and Banking Law, the environment, and the Welfare Law. Two research reports conducted through fieldwork are also included. One report discusses the “Hannan experience” and scientific development; the other is an empirical study on legal services in rural areas. Hunan, Chongqing, Diqin, and Yuhang were selected as examples to explore differences in regional laws. One particularly interesting aspect of this study was drawn from observations of law development in the Diqing Tibetan autonomous region.
