Sommario/riassunto

The twelve case studies in Chinese Law: Knowledge, Practice and Transformation, 1530's to 1950's , edited by Li Chen and Madeleine Zelin, open a new window onto the historical foundation and transformation of Chinese law and legal culture in late imperial and modern China. Their interdisciplinary analyses provide valuable insights into the multiple roles of law and legal knowledge in structuring social relations, property rights, popular culture, imperial governance, and ideas of modernity; they also provide insight into the roles of law and legal knowledge in giving form to an emerging revolutionary ideology and to policies that continue to affect China to the present day. This book is also available in paperback

Sommario/riassunto

Tous inédits, les textes qui composent ce recueil examinent la mondialisation, ainsi que les enjeux et les défis qui s'y rattachent, sous l'angle de la philosophie sociale et politique contemporaine. Les auteurs explorent d'abord les liens que la mondialisation entretient avec le capitalisme, l'impérialisme, ainsi qu'avec l'idéologie néolibérale.
